🚀 Thrust Vectoring: Game-Changer or Just an Airshow Trick? It looks like magic—jets hovering mid-air, twisting nose-first into impossible angles. That’s thrust vectoring. Instead of relying only on wings and control surfaces, aircraft use redirected engine exhaust to maneuver—even at slow speeds and thin air. So why don’t all fighters have it? 🤔 ✈️ The F-22 has thrust vectoring. Russia’s Su-30, Su-35, and Su-57 do too. But the F-35? Nope. ⚡ At high speed, regular controls already push pilots t

“Thrust vector control” means directing the exhaust of an engine in such a way as to change course or provide lift. In some rockets, an exhaust nozzle is able to shift on an axis, and this allows the rocket to change course, or maintain its course to target. for your refrance you can see this video. History Thrust vector control : The first gimbaled rocket engines were flown on MX-774 on July 14, 1948. It had four combustion chambers that could each swivel on one axis: the first reference I foun
