Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's thrust for it to act against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing ...
War Thunder is a 2013 free-to-play vehicular combat multiplayer video game produced by Gaijin Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Oculus, and Vive.
The reverse-thrust ratio (ratio of backward engine thrust to forward reverse thrust) can be as high as 84%. [6] However, this result is obtained with a cowl to attach air flow in a 7° angle and a large enough "target" (deflector door) installed. A reverse-thrust ratio of 55% can be reached on a simple target without the cowl. [7]
A multi-axis thrust vectoring engine nozzle in motion. 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.
Gaijin Entertainment was founded in Russia in 2002 by Anton and Kirill Yudintsev, [4] whose first big project was the PC racing game Adrenaline.After the successful launch of War Thunder in 2012, an office in Germany was established, to manage global operations and marketing. [5]
Pre-production F-15B with 2D nozzles, early 1980s, a predecessor of STOL/MTD program. In 1975, Langley Research Center began to conduct sponsored programs studying two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles; [6]: 44 government and industry studies of non-axisymmetric two-dimensional (2-D) nozzles in the early 1970s had identified significant payoffs for thrust-vectoring 2-D nozzle concepts.

The development of BFM began with the first fighter aircraft, during World War I, then continued with each following war, adapting to the changing weapons and technologies. Basic fighter maneuvers consist of many varying tactical turns, rolls, and other actions to get behind or above an enemy, before the opponent can do the same.
