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 ...

After nearly two decades of focused development, a Chinese research team has finally proven ...

Thrust vectoring is the technology that allows an aircraft to manipulate the direction of its engine's exhaust rather than just pointing it straight backward. By using movable nozzles to redirect ...

As an experimental Su-27 variant, the Su-27LL-PS tested advanced 2D thrust vectoring for enhanced maneuverability, providing critical insights into supermaneuverable flight dynamics, material ...

Few pilots have had an opportunity to fly China’s new J-20 “Mighty Dragon” aircraft, but one of the first test pilots to operate the fifth-generation aircraft said it could be upgraded with a 2D ...
