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 ...

Having demonstrated the mechanics of the concept in extensive benchtests, the engine consortium is trying to secure funds to fly its thrust vectoring nozzle (TVN) on a flight demonstrator.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
