To perform turns, aircraft that use no thrust vectoring must rely on aerodynamic control surfaces only, such as ailerons or elevator; aircraft with vectoring must still use control surfaces, but to a lesser extent. In missile literature originating from Russian sources, thrust vectoring is referred to as gas-dynamic steering or gas-dynamic ...
The two Russian designs competed against the Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon and F-15K Slam Eagle. [192] Sukhoi proposed a design which featured a phased-grid radar and thrust-vectoring engines, and offered full technology transfer as well as final assembly in South Korea.
A derivative of the Russian-Indian Su-30MKI, [142] the MKM is a highly specialised version for Royal Malaysian Air Force. It includes thrust vectoring control and canards but with avionics from various countries.
In addition domestic Russian Su-30 fighters will be upgraded with thrust vectoring engines. [9] Thrust vectoring is most useful while performing maneuvers such as the aerial J-turn, where the nose of the aircraft is pointed upwards (and thus the engine thrust counters gravity as well as providing attitude control). It is generally considered ...
The Sukhoi Design Bureau started research on thrust vectoring in 1983, [4] when the Soviet government tasked the bureau with the separate development of the Su-27M. [5] At the insistence of General Director Mikhail Simonov , who had been the chief designer of the Su-27, Sukhoi and the Siberian Aeronautical Research Institute studied ...
A previously planned thrust vectoring MiG-35 variant was planned to include thrust vectoring nozzles that could direct thrust on two different axes. [48] [55] But Rosoboronexport also stated that, "at customer's request, engine may be equipped with a thrust vectoring nozzle". [56] KAB-500KR TV-guided bombs and R-73 air-to-air missiles featured ...
The RD-8 (Russian: РД-8 and GRAU Index: 11D513) is a Soviet / Ukrainian liquid propellant rocket engine burning LOX and RG-1 (a rocket grade kerosene) in an oxidizer rich staged combustion cycle. [5] [6] It has a four combustion chambers that provide thrust vector control by gimbaling each of the nozzles in a single axis ±33°. [2]
The Sukhoi Su-27 (Russian: Сухой Су-27; NATO reporting name: Flanker) is a Soviet-origin twin-engine supersonic supermaneuverable fighter aircraft designed by Sukhoi.It was intended as a direct competitor for the large US fourth-generation jet fighters such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, with 3,530-kilometre (1,910 nmi) range, heavy aircraft ordnance ...
