A wind-tunnel investigation was conducted with a vectored-thrust V/STOL fighter configuration. The model was equipped with two nacelle-mounted vectored-thrust jet simulators and one lift-jet simulator. The vectored-thrust jet could be tested at two alternate longitudinal positions and three nozzle deflection angles. The vectored-thrust configuration with the rear nozzles showed an increase in lift and a decrease in pitching moment when compared with the forward nozzles. The rear nozzles also improve stall characteristics.
