Thrust-vectoring makes impossible maneuvers possible. The huge, powerful jets can perform extremely tight turns that ...

There’s a good chance you already saw SpaceX’s towering Starship prototype make its impressive twelve kilometer test flight. While the attempt ended with a spectacular fireball, it was still a ...

Remember the days when people only did what they learned in school? Aviators flew, teachers taught, blacksmiths slammed iron, and audio engineers made music. Yeah, me neither, that was a long time ago ...

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 ...

Modern thrust vectoring in turbofan and rocket nozzles has traditionally been performed using mechanical actuation. However, recent research has identified fluidic thrust vectoring as a promising ...

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 ...

We’ve become so used to seeing SpaceX boosters land themselves back on the pad with clockwork reliability, that it’s easy to forget it took them a good number of attempts to get right. Inspired by ...

The second Vector-R rocket lifts off on a low-altitude test flight from a site in Camden County, Georgia, Aug. 3. Credit: Vector WASHINGTON — Vector, a company developing the Vector-R small launch ...

MONTVILLE, N.J., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier, today announced that it has been awarded a contract by L3Harris Technologies ...

Vector Space Systems successfully launched a full-scale model of its Vector-R rocket on Wednesday in Mojave, California. The test flight, which remained under 50,000 feet for regulatory purposes, ...

The cofounder of the Vector rocket company, James Cantrell, said this week that he is 100 percent confident that his Vector-R vehicle will launch this year. This launch will occur from the Kodiak ...

In view of the control effects of fluidic thrust vector technology for low-speed aircraft at high altitude/low density and low altitude/high density are studied. The S-A model of FLUENT software is ...
