The Advanced Tactical Fighter competition is often remembered as a clean win for the F-22 Raptor, but the losing prototype, ...

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 ...

Abstract: Aiming at the nonlinear dynamics and strong coupling effects of thrust-vectoring carrier-based aircraft during landing, this study proposes a composite control strategy combining aerodynamic ...

Abstract: Ducted fan UAVs (DFUAVs), characterized by vector thrust, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities, and high safety, have found widespread applications in both military and civilian ...
