Tribute to Vectored Thrust

[JrGuacamoles]

HOLY THRUST VECTORING BATMAN!

[wardog663]

is this song for whom the bells toll

[frantic29]

yep

[HuhnK0t]

excellent musical choice.

[Thomlistentoslayer]

f-22 is my choice if i was a pilot but the fucking x-31 would have been nice

[JNT11593]

Nice video...but the Harrier should've been included since it was the first with TVC but had a different use for it.

[Carlosacv2]

F-18 is a fake

[Knightfang1]

Nope, it is the F-18HARV a research aircraft flown by nasa Dryden with thrust deflector paddles on the exahaust ports, i'll be makeing a full video of it soon. HARV stands for "High Alpha Research Vehicle"

[240SX5]

on the F-22 their seems to be room for canards,imagen how bad ass a F-22S/MTD would be.

[Knightfang1]

while the aircraft does have room for them i don't think they would be of any benefit to it's abilities, and would likely disrupt it's stealth profile. this aircraft is already capable of intense manuvers, and has to be artificially limited to 9.5 Gs by the fly by wire system to prevent excessive g-forces from blacking out the pilot.

there is a tailless version on the drawing boards that uses 3d trust vectoring to replace all the control surfaces. currently known as the X-44 MANTA

[wslx0195]

Americans had vectored thrusts first but it was applied to rockets. We're talking since the early years of NASA.

[tachumi]

yeah, i thought the russians where the ones who figured out thrust vectoring. but some say the americans did it on the f-15/mtd. i wanna see videos of this plane

[Knightfang1]

The F-15s/mtd also known as the f-15Active is a modified f-15A that first flew in the mid 1980s, at first it featured 2D thrust vectoring and forward Canard wings. but was modified further to have 3D thrust vectoring later on. There is only one of these aircraft and it is based at Edwards AFB in California and currently owned by the Nasa Dryden reserch facility. It was originally used to test advanced controls and systems for future fighters and was instrumental in the design of the F-22A raptor

[Knightfang1]

ok apparently the Sukhoi is not an SU-37, atleast not the one seen on the ground, the SU-37's nozzels were 2D vectoring nozzels that were offset by 37 degrees. it's probably an SU-35

[JNT11593]

I think it is the yellow collow is a pretty good give away also the tail reads "711" which i think was the one that crashed.

[13thLiberator]

Awesome video man.

[darkmasterchief78]

lol no country builds better planes, every country in the world with enough money is constantly building prototypes of better and better aircraft

[Knightfang1]

I just don't want the typical and childish who builds better planes, russia or the USA, arguement to start on my video and if it does i'll disable comments from that moment on.

[AUPilot09]

not only an AMAZING video with Awesome planes, but the choice of music was also quite appropriate. Much props! Keep it up.

[stoniez]

amazing , at night these would look like ufoz

[nakazatoGTR]

dude, you missed out F-16 MATV.

[Knightfang1]

I couldn't find enough high quality footage to include it in the video, I also wanted the F-15s/mtd ACTIVE but couldn't find much downlaodable footage of it either.

[nakazatoGTR]

i saw a few of them here on youtube.

you can download vids from youtube using this site: vixy(dot)net

[Knightfang1]

Thanks I didn't know there was a way to download from youtube, The only clips I could find of the f-16 MATV, also known as the F-16Vista, anywhere on the net was a tiny clip at very low resolution doing a "Cobra"

[nakazatoGTR]

mhmm.

all those other test vids must either be still classified, or no one else knows.

[22Linx22]

I've found that the s/MTD is remarkably hard to fing footage of. But it is one badass machine

[Knightfang1]

Probably nobody has taken the time to pull the old film reals out of the vault and digitize them. just a guess

[EarlMcCrackin]

Nice one.

[Knightfang1]

Enjoy my video, as it shows many great aircraft, but know this, I will not let these comments turn into a pissing match about what country builds better planes so don't even try it.
