thrust vectoring

About 11 years ago, thrust vectoring became the rage. EDF's were underpowered and were very heavy(battery)and over time, they dropped out of the picture. The 2 areas of interest is that wild acrobatics are now possible as well as exploring high angles of attack for slow and precise...

I like to design things that don't exist. This video opened a new window for me. First came learning to use and fly EDF's in the 64mm range. Then came 2d thrust vectoring nozzles that were popular and then I got into trying to improve a higher alpha for the plane. I did alot of testing using...

Went to a club meeting and was presented a damaged (6 time thrown) F-16 that was in bad shape. Owner was disgusted and gave it to me for not having any luck in getting it in the air at all. Didn't want anything to do with it and knew I have been using TV for a number of years, so he suggested...

One of the first electric helis was the Shogun. After it's time, I was left with a heli that just aged in the cellar. Along came thrust vectoring and decided to modify the swashplate and install the motor/prop on the collective plate for additional elevator and rudder control. The unit was...

Pushing the limit, I decided to test a dual 70mm's thrust vectoring nozzle plane to see how well thrust vectoring provides roll, pitch and yaw WITHOUT ANY MOVING SURFACEs on the plane. All controls are directed to the thrust vectoring nozzles. Concept: 2 nozzles up will produce pitch 1 nozzle...

My Viggen is setup with thrust vectoring (elevator control). I have a DX6 TX and a Orange RX 6 channel. Ive been messing around for a few hours now trying to figure out how to setup my receiver to make the thrust vectoring work in unison with my elevator. Im stumped! Also I cant find any forums...

Hi Flite Test!!! I thought I will give you a hard project. You have already made F-22 from America, JA-37 from Europe, maybe it's time for something Russian? :) Your goal is to make an EDF Su-35/Su-37 (or a mix of them, like Su-35 with canards :D) from foam/depron with advanced 3D fuselage and...
