Thrust Vectoring Planes

On the video you can see a Russian jet fighter implementing thrust vectoring technology. The pilot explains in English its advantages. In general this is a technology that uses jet engines which can rotate their nozzles in any direction and also change the size of the nozzle for precise thrust control which gives unbelievable maneuver ability.

And below you can see the shots from the plant in Russian Siberia where they build those engines. They call it “the only plant in the world with serial mass production of thrust vectoring jet engines” and that NATO countries buy those engines to equip their planes.

      On Last photo is big Dildo

      I like anal !

    3. jt says:

      that is awesome, pure ownage

    4. keroro says:

      well, Chinese actualy already copied this engines and already refusing to by ours… It’s took for them 5 years faster then was predicted…

      • Scrat335 says:

        I think you mean the Chinese are reproducing and selling the SU version of this? I don’t think those aircraft have thrust vectoring. They did buy Sukhois (SU-33mks?) and they are going to sell them to everybody. This is in violation of the sales agreement also.

    5. blablabla says:

      there we go! next generation fighter jet, Russia is first again:)

      • Mo says:

        If you talk about aerodynamics and maneuverability, well Russia has always been first since the early 70s. So nothing new or surprising here :)

    6. Scrat335 says:

      That’s a very good piece of work. It’s a little complex for newbie pilots though, you have to have thousands of hours of flight time under your belt to utilize it and frankly survive it. One mistake and the next thing you know you’ll be a fireball on the ground. One of these aircraft already went down which is not unexpected with new technology. I don’t think that there is any plane anywhere that can compete with this in a dogfight, keep in mind this was a demonstration only. They did not show all of the capabilities it has and held back because of safety regulations.

      • Citrom says:

        That shouldnt be a problem if they add good software aid to the hardware (which would handle the thrusters movement automatically, based on manual steering data)

        If software could make that piece of metal B2 bomber fly, it should make wonders with this neat tech.

        • tg@ says:

          This system is already fully automatical, and simple to any newbie pilots. There are only one problem - numder of aircrafts with this engines.

    7. Can you imagine how the pilot felt as he was doing the acrobatic maneuvers? I feel the same way after smoking my special blend in my hookah.

    8. Harry says:

      The voice over man is wonderfully english

    9. onitake says:

      i want one of those. doesn’t matter if i can fly it or not - it’s just hawt. mig-29 ftw!

    10. Quite an impressive airplane.

    11. Do you like F-22 engines ? I think they great

    12. Nikitn says:

      This is good… Su-35 is pure ownage though!

    13. grushka says:

      It even, at the end, changes shape and colour.

    14. Pavel says:

      Those big red stars on all Russian/Soviet aircraft are badass.

    15. Yes, the graphics on these aircraft are striking and dynamic.

    16. Louise says:

      What program was the clip taken from? Some British program on an international air show? Magnificent flying and engineering!

    17. hardscarf says:

      BTW: The plant is the ‘Комсомольское-на-Амуре авиационное производственное объединение имени Ю. А. Гагарина’ (in one breath) in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

    18. JohnP says:

      MiG-29M OVT Pilot: “Look, Mikov, my thrust vectoring capability, I can spin like a ballerina. I must look so beauti…oh shit where the fuck did that come from? Mother of Russia! how do I…”

      Radio dies as F22 slips right back out of airspace.

    19. John says:

      Came here to say what JohnP said.

      Pirouette all you want, it won’t help you avoid the OTH missiles.

    20. Soon to be seen in Abkhazia?

    21. Dooiingg! Jets get me hard. The Mig29 is a JILF.

    22. Ivan says:

      Not pretending to know a lot, but wouldn’t many of those maneuvers make a conventional jet engine flameout? Yet these stay on the whole time! Remarkable. I would like to see this aircraft participate in the U.S. Red Flag war game exercises that I see portrayed on History Channel.

    23. bean-o says:

      It looks like they took an old MIG and added a new engine.

      Or did they build this thing from ground up?

    24. OV-1Mohawker says:

      Russia is FINALLY discovering thrust vector capabilities!
      Definitely NOT the first again. Remember, the F/22 used thrust vectoring capabilities in 1987 when it was still a prototype. Yes the F22A Pratt & Whitney F119 engine has thrust vectoring in the “pitch axis only”, but the MiG35 won’t ever stand a chance against it. Comparable aircraft to the MiG35:
      Dassault Rafale, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Eurofighter Typhoon, F-15E Strike Eagle. It has stated that the F-22A cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft.

      • evil says:

        heh, you wish… excluding the factm that F-22A is a flying coffin comparing to Russian jets, they have superior anti-air defence… loosing 137,5million $ for every unit, and US is going to loose them alot, and i mean ALOT… i don’t thing you can win any confrontation. every jet produced in US sucks because of lobby, your country buys flying metal scraps only because some smart guys gave away few cases with bucks to right people. a lot of information about critical F serie constrution faults can be found open source.

        • Anonymous says:

          So, are you a sales analyst for Lockheed Martin? How do you know how much money has been lost? The US is going to loose alot? To who…the tired, outdated ill maintained cold war era planes of the ex soviet union?! We buy metal scraps…from who? Last I checked Lockheed buys it’s metal from company who produced them in America! Everything I see that was Russian made looks like a rip off of something someone else made. You would think if you’re going to rip off someone elses design you would improve it or make it better somehow, not Russia though. I haven’t seen anything Russia has made that the world has benefited from, just hanging on the shirt tales of everyone else.

          • ksfooo says:

            Your are just a jerk.. Try to use your brain! Open your eyes!

          • Ximlania says:

            Remember the “tragic” end of “stealth” flying fortress in former yugoslavia.just few thousand dollars,surface to air anti air craft missile can do beyond the thinking of U ASS military establishment! ! ! ! ! !R I P.Soviet,Russian technologies are the best in the world.no one can deny them.

    25. cypher says:

      alot of ppl believe that russia first created thrust vectoring, lol i think it was the US who first made true thrust vectoring on the f-18 harv first in 1987, f-16n, f-15active , x-29 and x-31. the paris show in 95 displayed the x-31 which had 3d thrust vectoring, the russians displayed the su-37 later in 96……..i wonder who was impressed first

    26. Vlad says:

      Yes and the Brits have been buying these engines to power their Hawker Harrier since the 1950s. Get a grip. NATO buying equipment from Russia. What kind of sci-fi are you living my friend?

      And BTW is there ANYTHING that Russians have not invented/built/discovered first?

    27. Duncan_Idaho says:

      F22 would not have a fucking prayer against this baby - or any other modern Russian jet for that matter. Not only are Russian jets superior nut their AAM’s are simply YEARS ahead:

      As good as Russian Tech is, it is also true that they cant afford to deploy there good stuff :( , unlike America. But keep in mind that there are many Russian technologies that are ether just as good as American tech or better, but again, they cant afford to deploy them.
