When you're flying on a commercial jet, you naturally become very familiar with the sound and feeling of the powerful turbine engines. As you take off, you can feel their rumbling muscle rocketing the ...

Thrust vectoring is the technology that allows an aircraft to manipulate the direction of its engine's exhaust rather than just pointing it straight backward. By using movable nozzles to redirect ...

-Thrust vectoring gives fighters a party trick with real teeth: by swiveling engine exhaust, jets can pivot, claw for lift, tighten turns, even flirt with a hover. -The F-22, Su-30/35, Su-57—and ...

The thrust-link issue that forced Boeing to ground its 777-9 test fleet last year was caused by a narrow airflow gap that led to vibration and failure, according to newly available information. Boeing ...

Preliminary investigation into the AirACT Boeing 747-400 freighter excursion at Hong Kong have found that, after touchdown, forward thrust increased on the outboard right-hand engine – the ...

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 ...

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 ...
