Thrust vectoring, also known as thrust vector control (TVC), is the ability of an aircraft, rocket or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the...

engine. Rotary wing aircraft use rotors and thrust vectoring V/STOL aircraft use propellers or engine thrust to support the weight of the aircraft and to...

Gimbaled thrust is the system of thrust vectoring used in most rockets, including the Space Shuttle, the Saturn V lunar rockets, and the Falcon 9. In a...

increasingly used in recent years to advance maneuverability via the use of thrust vectoring engine nozzles. Russian emphasis on close-range slow-speed supermaneuverability...

Sukhoi Su-27, the first aircraft to publicly display thrust vectoring in pitch. Combined with a thrust-to-weight ratio above unity, this enabled it to maintain...

were produced and used for tests and demonstrations; one example had thrust-vectoring engines and was in turn redesignated the Su-37. A sole Su-35UB two-seat...

The vectoring nozzle is used primarily in the pitch plane, but unlike the AL-37FU, the canting of the vectoring axes allow differential vectoring to produce...

improved thrust of 142 kilonewtons (32,000 lbf). WS-10G – thrust vectoring variant generating 152–155 kilonewtons (34,000–35,000 lbf) of thrust during testing;...

to Mach 1.8. The F119's nozzles incorporate thrust vectoring that enable them to direct the engine thrust ±20° in the pitch axis to give the F-22 enhanced...

convertiplane. Others like the British Harrier jump jet use thrust vectoring or other direct thrust techniques. The first powered-lift ratings on a civilian...
