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 FA-37 Talon from the 2005 film Stealth may have been fictional, but its design wasn’t entirely imaginary. This video traces the jet’s roots to a real Northrop patent filed in the late 1990s, which ...

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

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 ...

Right now, the F-22A and the Russian Sukhoi Su-37 and Su-30MKI (flying with the Indian air force) are the only fighter aircraft with two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles. More sophisticated ...

There are other aircraft that use thrust vectoring on a non-tilting propulsion system for VTOL purposes. The Lockheed Martin F-35B fighter jet is one example, although it does have the ...

According to the piece, the commander of the RAF XI Sqn Wing Commander Rich Wells, said: “Raptor has vector thrust: Typhoon doesn’t,” he said. “What the aircraft can do, it’s incredible.

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 ...

Thrust vectoring is one way to control aerial vehicles. It’s become more popular as technology advances, finding applications on fifth-generation fighter aircraft, as well as long being used in ...

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 ...
