A multi-axis thrust vectoring engine nozzle in motion. Thrust vectoring, also known as thrust vector control (TVC), is the ability of an aircraft, rocket or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) to control the attitude or …
The Thrust Vectoring Nozzle developed by ITP was initially designed to fit and be compatible with an EJ200 engine, Although the description of benefits of Thrust Vectoring and which powers the European Fighter Aircraft EF2000.
Thrust Vectoring can provide modern military aircraft with a number of advantages regarding performance and survivability, all of which has an influence upon Life Cycle Cost. There are several types of Thrust Vectoring Nozzles. For example, there are 2-D and 3-D Thrust Vectoring Nozzles. The ITP Nozzle is a 3-D Vectoring Nozzle.
Fluidic thrust vectoring methods tend to fall into three basic categories: shock vector control (SVC), throat shifting (TS), and counterflow methods. The eight nozzle concepts listed in Table 1 were used to investigate the shock vector control method of fluidic thrust vectoring (refs. 2-10).
2023年7月31日 · Mechanical thrust vectoring (MTV) is a technique achieved mechanically by deflecting the engine nozzle to alter the direction of thrust with the use of actuators and gimbaling mechanisms. Although it produces effective TV, the thrust vectoring configurations become heavy, complex, and expensive.
BACKGROUND grouped in four categories: • Enhanced performance in conventional flight As an improvement to the current (non-vectoring) • Extended flight envelope Convergent-Divergent (Con-Di) nozzle of the EJ200 engine, powerplant for EF2000, ITP have developed a • Increased Safety new Thrust Vectoring Nozzle which can be fitted to ...
2024年12月16日 · This development is aimed at enhancing the fighter’s stealth, agility, and thrust-vectoring capabilities. Unlike traditional circular nozzles, the 2D nozzle reduces radar signature as it now comes with a Radar blocker as seen in the above images that aligns with global trends seen in platforms like the F-22 Raptor’s Pratt & Whitney F119 ...
A Dual Throat Nozzle fluidic thrust vectoring technique that achieves higher thrust- vectoring efficiencies than other fluidic techniques, without sacrificing thrust efficiency has been developed at NASA Langley Research Center.
Technology demonstrator aircraft employing first generation vectoring nozzles have already proven the advantages of thrust vectoring under flight conditions. These early vectoring nozzles have developed along two different lines; the two-dimensional, convergent-divergent (2-D/C-D)
