An aerodynamic tail nozzle designed in Nanjing proves its mettle in a high-subsonic speed drone test In a world first, ...

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 ...

Fluidic thrust vectoring and control refer to a suite of aerodynamic techniques that achieve directional control of engine thrust by modulating the flow field through the injection of secondary ...

Key Points and Summary - Russia’s Su-35 is a non-stealth supermaneuverable evolution of the Su-27, packing powerful sensors (Irbis-E PESA, IRST), thrust-vectoring and long legs. China’s J-20 is a true ...

A Chinese research team has successfully tested a streamlined thrust-vectoring concept on a high-speed unmanned aircraft, pushing drones into high-subsonic flight.

Despite a popular focus on stealth – and to a lesser extent, data fusion – in today’s fighters, America’s turbofan advantage is just as valuable in setting American fighters apart through a ...

Shield AI and GE Aerospace have confirmed that the GE Aerospace F110-GE-129 engine will power the developmental X-Bat unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter aircraft. The pair have ...

When you're flying on a commercial jet, you naturally become very familiar with the sound and feeling of the powerful turbine engines. As you take off, you can feel their rumbling muscle rocketing the ...
