A couple of weeks ago, an experienced Eurofighter Typhoon industry test pilot wrote to The Aviationist to respond to a Lockheed F-35 test pilot who, talking to Flight’s Dave Majumdar had claimed that ...

How NASA's F-15 ACTIVE program tested thrust vectoring and adaptive controls to improve performance of future ...

As with so many military aircraft designs, the A-6 Intruder, known originally as the YA2F-1, had some pretty ambitious features that never really panned out. The jet's swiveling exhausts were one of ...

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 ...

Key point: The F-22 remains king, but the F-35 could be in trouble. In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth ...

Modern thrust vectoring in turbofan and rocket nozzles has traditionally been performed using mechanical actuation. However, recent research has identified fluidic thrust vectoring as a promising ...

Ground trials are underway for a vectored thrust prototype developed under a £6.5 million ($10.4 million) UK project to develop technologies for an unmanned air vehicle with no conventional control ...

Fluidic thrust vectoring for pitch control will be tested next month using a Schübeler Vector II model aircraft, as part of the UK’s £6.2 million ($11.3 million) five-year flapless air vehicle ...
