Rockwell-MBB X-31. The X-31 aircraft returns from a test flight for VECTOR. 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 ...
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 ...
Link 4 is a non-secure data link used for providing vector commands to USAF and other NATO fighter aircraft. It is a netted, time division link operating in the UHF band at 5,000 bits per second. There are 2 separate "Link 4s": Link 4A and Link 4C. Link 4A TADIL C is one of several Tactical Data Links now in operation in the United States Armed ...
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 cylindrical pod pointing backwards, just above the engines, is the missile approach warning receiver (part of Praetorian DASS) A missile approach warning system (MAW) is part of the avionics package on some military aircraft. A sensor detects attacking missiles. Its automatic warning cues the pilot to make a defensive maneuver and deploy ...

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 ...
