Thrust vectoring is the ability of a vehicle like an aircraft or rocket to manipulate the direction of thrust from its engine in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. It was originally intended to provide upward vertical thrust for VTOL or STOL capabilities. In combat, thrust vectoring allows aircraft to perform maneuvers and climb faster. There are two methods of thrust vectoring - mechanical, which physically changes the engine nozzle direction, and fluidic, which injects or removes fluid from the jet boundary layer to enable vectoring.

WHAT IS THRUST VECTORING?
Thrust vectoring is the ability of an
aircraft , rocket or other vehicle to manipulate
the direction of thrust from its engine or motor
in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle’s
longitudinal axis.

3. 3
•Thrust vectoring was originally envisaged to provide
upward vertical thrust as a means to give the aircraft
VTOL or short takeoff and landing(STOL) capability.
•The use of vectored thrust in combat situations
enabled an aircraft to perform various maneuvers and
have better rate of climb.
WHY THRUST VECTORING?

4. 4
CLASSIFICATION
• There are two methods for achieving thrust
vectoring:
 mechanically
 fluidic control.

5. 5
• Mechanical thrust vectoring includes deflecting
the engine nozzle and thus physically changing the
direction of the primary jet.
• Fluidic thrust vectoring involves injecting fluid
into or removing it from the boundary layer of a
primary jet to enable vectoring.

AKNOWLEDGEMENT
I present my gratitude for this opportunity
which has been provided by the “Academic
writing” course authorities. Academic writing
is an opportunistic course conducted by UGC
in coordination with SWAYAM. It is very
useful for the people who are eager to publish
their research paper. The course gives a
detailed explanation on how to write a good
paper.
