It featured a two-dimensional thrust-vectoring nozzle system, enabling the aircraft to control exhaust direction for improved maneuverability. This made it a key platform for studying ...

The nozzle is said to be “two dimensional” when the shape of the throat is rectangular. Flight tests of thrust-vectoring designs began in the early 1990s with airplanes like NASA’s modified ...

A Russian Su-57 fighter has been finally equipped with a new stealthy flat 2D thrust vectoring nozzle for testing. The aircraft, which appears to be the Felon’s second prototype, T-50-2 “052 ...

China for the first time exhibited a turbofan engine with a 2D thrust vectoring control nozzle at the ongoing Airshow China 2022 held in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province, with experts ...

Think of when you partially cover a garden hose nozzle with your thumb; the water still comes out, but in the opposite direction of the location of your thumb. Modern thrust vectoring technology ...

The F-16 Fighting Falcon's actuator nozzle produces a unique squeaking sound as it adjusts for thrust vectoring and engine performance. This distinctive noise, caused by the movement of the nozzle ...

which is equipped with a thrust-vectoring nozzle control system. The new engine proves that China can build first-class, thrust-vectoring engines to power its advanced fighters, a People's ...

but one of the first test pilots to operate the fifth-generation aircraft said it could be upgraded with a 2D thrust vectoring nozzle for its engine. It is a significant feature that isn’t as ...

They’re built for speed, but to improve maneuverability (and because it’s super cool) [johnbecker31] designed a 3D-printable method of adjusting the EDF’s thrust on demand. Before 3D ...
