How NASA's F-15 ACTIVE program tested thrust vectoring and adaptive controls to improve performance of future ...

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 ...

Remember the days when people only did what they learned in school? Aviators flew, teachers taught, blacksmiths slammed iron, and audio engineers made music. Yeah, me neither, that was a long time ago ...

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 ...

Orlando startup JetX is planning a configurable eVTOL "flying car" chassis, and testing a quiet, modular propulsion system that vectors thrust from bladed or bladeless fans without tilting them, ...

There’s a good chance you already saw SpaceX’s towering Starship prototype make its impressive twelve kilometer test flight. While the attempt ended with a spectacular fireball, it was still a ...

We’ve become so used to seeing SpaceX boosters land themselves back on the pad with clockwork reliability, that it’s easy to forget it took them a good number of attempts to get right. Inspired by ...

Here’s What You Need to Know: The ability to perform tight maneuvers is a slick card for pilots to hold up their sleeve. Like its American counterpart the F-16 jet, the J-10—dubbed the Vigorous Dragon ...
