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 ...

Austrian aviation company CycloTech is preparing to test a new electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft ...

The Cobra Maneuver is more than just a stunt to look cool during shows, but how realistic is it to pull off and which fighter jets are capable?

These control surfaces are enough for most planes — but if you're doing dangerous maneuvers, they may not be enough. This is ...

At a high angle of attack, a rudder loses its effectiveness, and being able to rely on thrust vectoring would let a pilot enter what’s essentially a controlled flat spin, yawing the airplane ...

The most fundamental difference to understand between the F-22 and F-35 is that the former was built to be a dominant air ...

The upshot is that you can super-quickly vector the thrust the Cyclorotor produces, with 360-degree freedom – and when you're talking about VTOL aircraft that need to adjust thrust across ...

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 ...

One of the main ideas behind the X-44 was thrust vector control which would grant it the kind of maneuverability that would overwhelm enemy fighter planes. Thrust vectoring means an airplane can ...
