Arkhyp Lyulkav dedicated his life to the aerospace industry until 70x. Incredibly, his engine is still being manufactured and well-performed. If he only knew that in 50 years russia would use it to kill Ukrainians in an unprovoked genocidal war.

Russia is an evil savage country. Unfortunate these powerful weapons are used on ordinary people living in a peaceful country that had no desire to fight. Russia must fall.

The Sukhoi Su-30SM is one of the few operational multirole fighters equipped with thrust-vectoring technology, giving it exceptional maneuverability far beyond conventional fourth-generation fighters. Powered by two Saturn AL-31FP afterburning turbofan engines, the Su-30SM features 2D thrust-vectoring nozzles that can deflect up to ±15 degrees. Unlike standard jet engines, these movable nozzles redirect engine thrust during flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain control even at extremely high angles of attack where traditional control surfaces become less effective. Working together with its digital fly-by-wire flight control system and aerodynamic canards, thrust vectoring enables the Su-30SM to perform dramatic post-stall maneuvers such as the Pugachev's Cobra, Kulbit, Herbst Maneuver, and high-alpha turns. These maneuvers can provide a tactical advantage during close-range dogfights by rapidly changing the aircraft's nose position without relying solely on aerodynamic lift. Unlike dedicated airshow demonstrations, the Su-30SM's thrust-vectoring system was designed for real combat applications, improving agility, controllability at low speeds, and recovery from extreme flight attitudes while carrying combat payloads.

The F-22 Raptor is widely regarded as the most advanced air superiority fighter ever built, and its thrust vectoring is a huge part of what makes it so insanely dominant. The F-22's two Pratt & Whitney F119 engines have 2D thrust-vectoring nozzles that can pivot up and down by about ±20 degrees. This lets the pilot redirect the engine thrust almost instantly. The F-22’s thrust vectoring turns an already stealthy, fast, and powerful fighter into a maneuvering monster that can do things no other operational fighter can match in close combat. That’s why it’s widely regarded as the greatest air superiority fighter in history.

In 1988 McDonnell Douglas added pitch vectoring/reversing nozzles and canards to its demo F-15 STOL/MTD to test landing from wet, bomb damaged runways. It rotated at 42mph, reduced takeoff roll 25%, landed in 1,650ft vs 7,500 for a standard Eagle, and reversed thrust in flight.

🇺🇸 The F-22 is the stealth king of fighter jets, but why does it have 2 thrust-vectoring nozzles instead of 3 like Russia’s Su-57? Because 3 nozzles require a round exhaust, and round shapes reflect radar straight back, making the jet easier to detect. The F-22 uses 2 flat, rectangular exhausts, which scatter radar waves away and help keep the jet stealthy. The trade-off: a bit less extreme maneuverability, but far better stealth, which is why it’s still one of the most advanced fighters in the sky. Source: Aviation Insider
