China’s smaller ‘J-50’ prototype surfaced near Shenyang days after the J-36, fueling talk of a second sixth-generation effort ...

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 ...

The new stealthy nozzle has been installed on the left engine of the T-50-2 prototype, the same used to test the new AL-51F engine. A Russian Su-57 fighter has been finally equipped with a new ...

If you were asked to sum up fighter jets in one word, a popular answer would surely be "fast." Sleek and aerodynamic, these ...

Summary and Key Points: The X-44 MANTA was an experimental aircraft developed by the U.S. Air Force based on the F-22 Raptor, designed without traditional tail surfaces to reduce radar visibility and ...

With small control surfaces and no thrust vectoring, the F-35 cannot change direction rapidly in close-range engagements. While hyper maneuverability has become a cornerstone of modern fighter jet ...

ZHUHAI, China—An AVIC-owned J-10B testbed demonstrated in a Nov. 6 flying display showed China’s new mastery of extreme aerial maneuverability aided by an experimental thrust vectoring control system.

No accolade could better describe how exemplary the F-22 Raptor is as a fighter jet than that its production run was quartered because it was peerless in air-to-air combat. The F-22's rectangular ...
