Function |
This device is placed directly to the output of the reactor. Exclusively for fighter aircraft, this vector thrust nozzle can direct exhaust gas and then increase the maneuverability of the aircraft regardless of its speed. We talk about hyper-maneuverability because with this technology an aircraft is capable to make turns at high angle of attack and to fly at very low speed. |
