Thrust-vectoring makes impossible maneuvers possible. The huge, powerful jets can perform extremely tight turns that ...

Thrust vectoring—essentially redirecting the plane’s exhaust flow—allows modern fighters to quickly change direction, giving them an edge in close combat. Thrust vectoring nozzles are one of the most ...

As an experimental Su-27 variant, the Su-27LL-PS tested advanced 2D thrust vectoring for enhanced maneuverability, providing critical insights into supermaneuverable flight dynamics, material ...

-Thrust vectoring gives fighters a party trick with real teeth: by swiveling engine exhaust, jets can pivot, claw for lift, tighten turns, even flirt with a hover. -The F-22, Su-30/35, Su-57—and ...

Orlando startup JetX is planning a configurable eVTOL "flying car" chassis, and testing a quiet, modular propulsion system that vectors thrust from bladed or bladeless fans without tilting them, ...

We've all seen airplanes fly straight and level, ensuring their passengers are comfortable and helping keep everyone safe as they go from one point to another. However, you don't want safe, ...

Historically, the thrust-to-weight ratio concept has served as a benchmark for the evolution of fighter jets. An aircraft’s thrust-to-weight ratio is a statistic that is often thrown around, but one ...
