One of the most important tools in modern aircraft control is the thrust vector control system

One of the most fundamental principles in modern aeroplane control is thrust vector control. A Thrust Vector System employs a dual-action system to simultaneously supply an aircraft with both aerodynamic lift and control. After World War II, military forces discovered that employing a constant flow of air via a nozzle while rotating the wing at a high angle of attack produced a significant amount of thrust at the same time. Controlling this thrust has also been discovered to be particularly effective in applications requiring high speeds and G-forces. The F-15 uses a fan flow of air via a nozzle in front of a stabiliser to provide a steady stream of thrust, and its alternating swept-wing blade configuration is an example of a Thrust Vector Control System.

A Thrust Vector Control System (TVC) for variable-structure output operation is employed to control the above system. The system consists of three components: a Thrust Vector Optimizer, a Stabilizing Device, and a Burner/combustible feed system. The Thrust Vector Optimizer is in charge of increasing the device's overall efficiency. It also regulates the flow of combustion gas from the combustible feed system and guarantees that the chamber is kept at the proper pressure and temperature.
