Popis: The recent introduction of thrust-vectoring (TV) maneuverability/controllability into fighter aircraft design methodologies requires reassessment of aircraft equations of motion, especially in the deep poststall (PST) domain. Therefore, a mathematical phenomenology has been developed in this article to assess the main components which affect TV-induced agility and PST-maneuverability. This article identifies the TV-induced forces and moments required to maximize TV control power. It then presents a number of simplified approximate equations for assessing maximized standard agility comparison maneuvers (SACOM) of separate pitch, yaw, and roll TV-induced reversal maneuvers. Such SACOMs are required to compare the performance of future different designs of tailless vectored fighters.
