Looking for a fun little experiment in thrust vectoring? [Saral Tayal] has come up with what he thinks is the first style of thrust vectoring hovercraft. A typical hovercraft uses one or two drives, ...

There’s a good chance you already saw SpaceX’s towering Starship prototype make its impressive twelve kilometer test flight. While the attempt ended with a spectacular fireball, it was still a ...

NASA's F/A-18 (left) and X-31 are among the airplanes used to gather data for thrust-vectoring. NASA Dryden Flight Research Center Remember the scene in the movie Top Gun when Navy pilot Pete ...

Fluidic thrust vectoring and control refer to a suite of aerodynamic techniques that achieve directional control of engine thrust by modulating the flow field through the injection of secondary ...

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 ...

Fluidic thrust vectoring nozzles represent a promising approach in aerospace propulsion, utilising the controlled injection of secondary flows to manipulate the primary exhaust stream. This innovative ...

Think about thrust vectoring and the image that probably springs to mind is that of an experimental fighter wowing the crowds at an air show, as the pilot pulls off seemingly impossible post-stall ...

The electric solar wind sail is a propulsion system that uses the solar wind proton flow as a source of momentum for spacecraft thrust. The momentum of the solar wind is transferred to the spacecraft ...

-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 ...
