The vanes deflect the airstream and provide the thrust vectoring that gives this little machine its control. Coming to the correct control method was not easy, though. Thanks mainly to the strong ...
Flying a thrust-vectoring rocket can be a challenge, and even more so if you stack multiple stages and a minimalist flight computer on top of it all. But [Joe Barnard] is not one to shy away from ...
The company has been developing its 360-degree thrust vectoring technology for several years and aims to showcase the seventh generation of this system in its upcoming BlackBird flying car.
CycloTech has been shaping its 360-degree thrust vectoring propulsion barrels, which it calls CycloRotors, over the last few years. It's keen to test the seventh generation of this propulsion ...
[1] Assuming constant acceleration and constant thrust vector yaw angle within each revolution, Edelbaum linearizes the Lagrange planetary equations of orbital motion about a circular orbit and, using ...
