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 ...

A unique F-15 research airframe (F-15 ACTIVE) was used to develop is used to develop the amazing thrust vectoring technology ...

In test flight over the Mojave desert, the F-15 ACTIVE aircraft experiments with a new thrust-vectoring conception.

In more advanced thrust vectoring platforms like Russia’s Sukhoi Su-35, thrust vector controls allow the jet nozzle to move in any direction, whereas the experimental F-15 STOL/MTD utilized a ...

Flight tests of thrust-vectoring designs began in the early 1990s with airplanes like NASA’s modified F/A-18 and F-15, the Rockwell/MBB X-31, and a modified Air Force F-16.

The two key reasons why the F-22 uses rectangular nozzles instead of the regular round-shaped ones are to help maximize its stealth and to facilitate thrust vectoring.

Thrust Vector Control (TVC) allows a pilot to tilt the exhaust nozzles of a jet engine to redirect thrust, allowing aircraft like the F-22 Raptor and Russia Su-35S Flanker to perform jaw-dropping ...

It’s an impressive model, complete with thrust vectoring, a microcontroller which follows a predetermined flight plan, a working launch pad, and even legs to attempt vertical landings.

Nor does the Su-30MK2 incorporate thrust vectoring nozzles radar as the Su-30MKI does. Likewise, the Chinese J-16 does not incorporate canards nor does it appear to have thrust vectoring engines.

Although the U.S. tested such technology in the early 90s, it didn’t add the technology to later versions of the F-15, Super Hornet, or F-16, or even the F-35.

The nozzle for the left side engine of the Su-27LL-PS’ thrust-vectoring system was developed by NPO Motor and had two flap-like nozzles that can direct the exhaust gasses up and down at an angle ...
