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 ...

Can pure agility outperform invisibility? In the dynamic chessboard of air combat, Russia’s Su-35 and China’s J-35 embody two diametrically opposed approaches to fighter design one based on ...

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 ...

ZHUHAI, China—An AVIC-owned J-10B testbed demonstrated in a Nov. 6 flying display showed China’s new mastery of extreme aerial maneuverability aided by an experimental thrust vectoring control system.

The F-22 will be remembered for being a generation or two ahead of its time with respect to air superiority prowess and maneuverability. The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is renowned for its ...

Historically, the thrust-to-weight ratio concept has served as a benchmark for the evolution of fighter jets. An aircraft’s thrust-to-weight ratio is a statistic that is often thrown around, but one ...
