Using thrust vectoring, the problem of pitching up a high alpha fighter aircraft to 90 degrees angle of attack in minimum time is considered. Pontryagin's maximum principle is used together with a two-point boundary value numerical algorithm to derive open-loop controls for various parameterized limits on thrust vectoring angles. Without thrust vectoring, a high alpha fighter with initial conditions 0.6 Mach number and 15,000 feet requires 7.0 seconds to pitch-up to 90 degrees. However, with 20-degree angle thrust vectoring, the pitch-up takes only 1.5 seconds with a final Mach number of 0.47. Also, the gain in altitude is less than 100 feet. More important, additional thrust vectoring yields litle benefit beyond the 20-degree angles. This paper describes control solutions in detail for thrust vectoring angles between 0 and 90 degrees.
