After nearly two decades of focused development, a Chinese research team has finally proven ...

Fluidic thrust vectoring nozzles represent a promising approach in aerospace propulsion, utilising the controlled injection of secondary flows to manipulate the primary exhaust stream. This innovative ...

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

Thrust vectoring is the technology that allows an aircraft to manipulate the direction of its engine's exhaust rather than just pointing it straight backward. By using movable nozzles to redirect ...

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

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 ...

Few pilots have had an opportunity to fly China’s new J-20 “Mighty Dragon” aircraft, but one of the first test pilots to operate the fifth-generation aircraft said it could be upgraded with a 2D ...

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 ...

Barnstorming is rare at aerospace trade shows these days, but the thrust-vectoring RSK MiG-29M OVT fighter has rekindled the air display spirit with an arresting flying demonstration. The double ...

British engine maker Rolls-Royce is eliminating the thrust-vectoring hooded nozzle used to direct the thrust of the F-35's lift fan in favor of a lighter, rectangular nozzle that will be structurally ...

The Aero Engine Corporation of China displayed an engine with a 2D thrust vectoring nozzle during Airshow China 2022. The nozzle design appears intended to sustain manoeuvres at low speeds and at very ...
