Time to get vector thrust on our Lancairs...

Thrust
vectoring is
the ability of an aircraft to direct the thrust from its main engines
in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis.
The technique was originally envisaged to provide upward vertical
thrust as a means to give aircraft vertical (VTOL) or short (STOL)
takeoff and landing ability. Subsequently, it was realized that using
vectored thrust enabled aircraft to perform various maneuvers not
available to conventional-engined planes. To perform turns, aircraft
that use no thrust vectoring must rely on only ailerons or flaps;
craft with vectoring still must use ailerons, but to a lesser
exte
When Boeing makes a model it aint no
stinkin balsa and rubber band job !!
