The feasibility of engine thrust vectoring for lateral control of aircraft in the high angle-of-attack regime was investigated for an airplane with F-11 characteristics. The technique was found to be effective in increasing the angle-of-attack at which departure occurs. The method used an effective dynamic directional stability parameter to account for the thrust effect alteration of the static lateral stability parameters Cnbeta and Cl beta, dyn could not be used to predict departure in the model studied, it was useful in evaluating the effectiveness of the thrust vectoring concepts.
