A tribute to Aircraft with Vectored thrust engines from around the world set to Metallica, I would have liked to include the F-16 MATV and the F-15s/MTD ACTIVE in this video but i couldn't find any good footage of them. If anyone knows a good place to find downloadable video of them post me a web address.

  • 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"

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • HOLY THRUST VECTORING BATMAN!

  • su-30mki D:

  • yep

  • is this song for whom the bells toll

  • 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.

  • excellent musical choice.

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

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