Difference between Thrust vectoring and Tiltwing

Thrust vectoring vs. Tiltwing

Thrust vectoring, also thrust vector control or 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) in order to control the attitude or angular velocity of the vehicle. A tiltwing aircraft features a wing that is horizontal for conventional forward flight and rotates up for vertical takeoff and landing.

Similarities between Thrust vectoring and Tiltwing

Thrust vectoring and Tiltwing have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aircraft, Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, STOL, STOVL, Tail-sitter, Tiltjet, Tiltrotor, VTOL.

Aircraft

An aircraft is a machine that is able to fly by gaining support from the air.

Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities.

STOL

STOL is an acronym for a short takeoff and landing aircraft, which have short runway requirements for takeoff and landing.

STOVL

A short take-off and vertical landing aircraft (STOVL aircraft) is a fixed-wing aircraft that is able to take off from a short runway (or take off vertically if it does not have a heavy payload) and land vertically (i.e. with no runway).

Tail-sitter

A tail-sitter or tailsitter is a type of VTOL aircraft that takes off and lands on its tail, then tilts horizontally for forward flight.

Tiltjet

A tiltjet aircraft is similar in concept to a tiltrotor design.

Tiltrotor

A tiltrotor is an aircraft which generates lift and propulsion by way of one or more powered rotors (sometimes called proprotors) mounted on rotating engine pods or nacelles usually at the ends of a fixed wing or an engine mounted in the fuselage with drive shafts transferring power to rotor assemblies mounted on the wingtips.

VTOL

A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is one that can hover, take off, and land vertically.
