The Rockwell-Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm X-31 is an experimental jet aircraft designed to test fighter thrust vectoring technology. It was designed and built by Rockwell and Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB), as part of a joint US and German Enhanced Fighter Maneuverability program to provide additional control authority in pitch and yaw, for significantly more maneuverability than most ...
Thrust vectoring, also known as thrust vector control ( TVC ), is the ability of an aircraft, rocket or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine (s) or motor (s) to control the attitude or angular velocity of the vehicle. [ 1][ 2][ 3] In rocketry and ballistic missiles that fly outside the atmosphere, aerodynamic ...
Head-up display. A head-up display, or heads-up display, [ 1] also known as a HUD ( / hʌd /) or head-up guidance system ( HGS ), is any transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. The origin of the name stems from a pilot being able to view information with the head positioned "up ...
30 mm M230 chain gun turret on a Boeing AH-64 Apache being aimed with a helmet-mounted sight. A helmet-mounted display ( HMD) is a headworn device that uses displays and optics to project imagery and/or symbology to the eyes. [ 1][ 2][ 3] It provides visual information to the user where head protection is required – most notably in military ...

As a product of the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program the aircraft was designed as an air superiority fighter, but also incorporates ground ...
Variants. Boeing EA-18G Growler. The Boeing F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet are a series of American supersonic twin-engine, carrier-capable, multirole fighter aircraft derived from the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, in service with the armed forces of the U.S., Australia, and Kuwait. The F/A-18E single-seat and F/A-18F tandem-seat variants ...
A vector monitor, vector display, or calligraphic display is a display device used for computer graphics up through the 1970s. It is a type of CRT, similar to that of an early oscilloscope. In a vector display, the image is composed of drawn lines rather than a grid of glowing pixels as in raster graphics. The electron beam follows an arbitrary ...
The Sukhoi Su-35 (Russian: Сухой Су -35; NATO reporting name: Flanker-E/M) is the designation for two improved derivatives of the Su-27 air-defence fighter. They are single-seat, twin-engine, supermaneuverable air superiority fighters, designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and built by Sukhoi . The type was originally developed by the ...
