Thrust vectoring—essentially redirecting the plane’s exhaust flow—allows modern fighters to quickly change direction, giving ...

NASA's F/A-18 (left) and X-31 are among the airplanes used to gather data for thrust-vectoring. NASA Dryden Flight Research Center Remember the scene in the movie Top Gun when Navy pilot Pete ...

Here’s What You Need to Remember: 2D nozzles are rectangular and 3D nozzles are circular, meaning that 2D nozzles have better radar and infrared stealth capabilities than the 3D nozzles. Few pilots ...

In view of the control effects of fluidic thrust vector technology for low-speed aircraft at high altitude/low density and low altitude/high density are studied. The S-A model of FLUENT software is ...

Key Points and Summary: Russia’s 2015 sale of 24 Su-35 fighters to China was more than optics—it was “fighter plane diplomacy” with lasting military effects. -Beijing gained exposure to the AL-41F1S ...

Key Points and Summary - The F-15EX and Su-35 are top-tier 4.5-gen upgrades with very different philosophies. Boeing’s F-15EX leans into beyond-visual-range dominance: an APG-82 AESA, EPAWSS ...

Official unveiling of the T-X shows 3D thrust vectoring, stealth features. The T-X made its media debut at Komaki on January 28.

An EDF (electric duct fan) is a motor that basically functions as a jet engine for RC aircraft. They’re built for speed, but to improve maneuverability (and because it’s super cool) [johnbecker31] ...
