CONTROL OF A LARGE LAUNCH VEHICLE WITH LIMITED THRUST VECTORING IN THE PRESENCE OF WINDSAn investigation has been made to determine the controllability of a large launch vehicle with limited thrust vectoring which permits the aerodynamic upsetting moment due to winds to exceed temporarily the control ...
The design space for thrust vectoring can be large and physical testing is often limited in the level of detail that can be provided to enable design decisions. Continued advances in CFD can provide opportunities to understand not just global performance but the reason certain parameters impact the...

Thrust vector control (TVC) is facilitated with Flex Nozzle Control System (FNC). The FNC system consists of Flex Nozzle, a submerged/contoured nozzle with throat diameter of 886mm and area ratio of 12 with a vectoring capability of ±7.8°. Two electro hydraulic actuators of minimum 30T ...
6.2. Thrust Vectoring Instead of aerodynamic control surfaces, the proposed airship concept uses a system of thrust vectoring propellers, suitably controlled to manoeuvre the vehicle with high accuracy. The thrust vectoring (depicted in Figure 16) is designed to overcome the specific limitations of co...
