Largely forgotten, the X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) was an ambitious concept in the late 1990s by Lockheed Martin ...

Before the F/A-18 Super Hornet, Grumman envisioned a future Tomcat: the ST-21 and later the fictionalized ST-22—an aircraft ...

As with so many military aircraft designs, the A-6 Intruder, known originally as the YA2F-1, had some pretty ambitious features that never really panned out. The jet's swiveling exhausts were one ...

The thrust vectoring is fully automated, allowing the pilot to concentrate on flying the aircraft and fighting. The LL-PS modification aimed to explore supermaneuvrability by enhancing agility and ...

That function is taken over by changing the EDF’s thrust, although it still has ailerons that move in sync with the thrust system. EDF-powered aircraft weren’t really feasible in the RC scene ...

Having received permission from Austrian authorities to begin outdoor flight testing on its remarkable CycloRotor-propelled technology demonstrator, CycloTech has announced noise testing results ...

Thrust vectoring — which allows manipulation of the engines' angle of thrust — and differential braking — when an aircraft's brakes are prioritized on one side, turning the other — are ...

Innovative Flight-Ready Kit Enables Single-Axis Vectoring of Aircraft Propellers to Advance Aerial Vehicle Research and ...

Thrust vectoring is when an airplane changes the direction of an engines output. So, instead of letting a jet engine push a plane forward, thrust vectoring could move it across different directions.

FAA regulations require drone enthusiasts and commercial operators to equip their unmanned aircraft with approved remote identification capability. ... Thrust-vectoring, cargo carrying and autonomy in ...

The 360° thrust vector control also allows the aircraft to brake and stop mid-air, enhancing control and safety, ... CycloRotors enable the construction of compact aircraft, ...
