The electric solar wind sail is a propulsion system that uses the solar wind proton flow as a source of momentum for spacecraft thrust. The momentum of the solar wind is transferred to the spacecraft ...

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 ...

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 ...

Key Points and Summary – The X-44 MANTA was a radical, tailless derivative of the F-22 Raptor that promised extreme stealth, ...

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 ...

Orlando startup JetX is planning a configurable eVTOL "flying car" chassis, and testing a quiet, modular propulsion system that vectors thrust from bladed or bladeless fans without tilting them, ...

Air combat simulator studies consistently show large fighter effectiveness payoffs due to thrust vectoring and/or thrust reversing exhaust nozzles. However, the air-to-air missile related kill ratios ...

Japan is seeking not only stealth but also thrust-vectoring, highly integrated avionics, skin sensors, fly-by-light controls and new engines as it pushes ahead with building a fighter technology ...

Eurofighter and engine supplier Eurojet are stepping up their efforts to interest Typhoon customer nations in a thrust-vectoring upgrade that promises to bring substantial operational benefits and pay ...

GE Aerospace‘s F110-GE-129 engine with the Axisymmetric Vectoring Exhaust Nozzle (AVEN) is to power Shield AI‘s future X-BAT ...

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 ...
