The Su-27LL-PS was an experimental variant of the Su-27 fighter aircraft designed to test advanced thrust vectoring technologies. It featured a two-dimensional thrust-vectoring nozzle system ...

The back of the F22 Raptor has an unusual characteristic -- rectangular nozzles. It turns out they have a very specific ...

To turn the wheels of a large commercial airline, pilots use the tiller, but there are other techniques such as differential ...

The idea was for the YA2F-1 to vector its thrust dynamically during its takeoff roll by rerouting the aircraft's thrust downward, along the airframe's vertical axis, thus shortening the aircraft's ...

The folks at Flite Test released a video in which they built [john]’s design into a squat tester jet that adjusts thrust in sync with the aircraft’s control surfaces, as you can see in the ...

Civilian aircraft often have these little wings ... they may not be enough. This is where thrust vectoring engines come in. Thrust vectoring is when an airplane changes the direction of an ...

CycloTech is one of very few companies looking beyond the humble propeller, pitch-controllable rotor or ducted fan to provide thrust for electric VTOL aircraft and drones. Instead, it uses a ...

The aircraft has an automatic abort/land capability in the ... RF and acoustic detection systems may also be required for “illegal” drones. Thrust-vectoring, cargo carrying and autonomy in a drone are ...

The 360° thrust vector control also allows the aircraft to brake and stop mid-air, enhancing control and safety, particularly in congested airspace. The two CycloRotors along the vehicle's length ...
