As with so many military aircraft designs, the A-6 Intruder, known originally as the YA2F-1, had some pretty ambitious features that never really panned out. The jet's swiveling exhausts were one of ...

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 ...

Modern thrust vectoring in turbofan and rocket nozzles has traditionally been performed using mechanical actuation. However, recent research has identified fluidic thrust vectoring as a promising ...

Eurofighter and engine supplier Eurojet are stepping up their efforts to interest Typhoon customer nations in a thrust-vectoring upgrade that promises to bring substantial operational benefits and pay ...

Fluidic thrust vectoring for pitch control will be tested next month using a Schübeler Vector II model aircraft, as part of the UK’s £6.2 million ($11.3 million) five-year flapless air vehicle ...
