Why do fifth-gen fighter jets use thrust vectoring?

Thrust vectoring—essentially redirecting the plane’s exhaust flow—allows modern fighters to quickly change direction, giving them an edge in close combat.
The number of published eVTOL aircraft concepts has continued to grow over the past seven years. Over the past several years, the number of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft ...
The Aero Engine Corporation of China displayed an engine with a 2D thrust vectoring nozzle during Airshow China 2022. The nozzle design appears intended to sustain manoeuvres at low speeds and at very ...
There are lots of acronyms for electric aviation, but eVTOL has stood the test of time for 15 years. In August 2014, NASA unveiled its GL-10 "Greased Lightning" vectored-thrust eVTOL demonstrator with ...
