I BELIEVE THIS IS THE WORLDS 1ST 3-AXIS THRUST VECTORING JET.. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THIS YET.. A NEW KING IS CROWNED.. ![]() THE TERM "CIRCLE FLYERS" CAN NOW OFFICIALLY BE USED IN THE JET WORLD.. IMO- "JETS THAT DON'T HAVE VECTORING BORE ME TO SLEEP".. AND SADLY, WITH THE 50LB TWIN THRUST LIMIT, WE IN THE USA WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FLY A JET LIKE THIS DUE TO THE AMA'S IGNORANT FEAR OF JETS GOING TO FAST.. I SAY IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE IN THE RULE OR THE USA WILL BE LEFT EVEN FUTHER BEHIND.. Last edited by cloudsurfer; 01-14-2008 at 03:56 PM. |

That was awsome. I love the backdrop of the Italian alps. The first time I saw a vectoring jet flying 3D was at the Joe Nall this year. It was a model of a Chinese fighter owned and flown by Ralf Loseman from Germany. The video is in the Big Events Gallery.

He came close to a tail touch about 75% into the vid...I got a Dunk'in Donuts "Munchkin" that says he'll be Tail-Tapping it in short order, just because he can. Jon

Time to get to work building tail feathers you can land on!! That is very cool. Looks like it still has a great top speed also. I bet the turbine sound during the hover in person puts it over the top. Jason |

http://www.sebart.it/!-images/galler...2007/index.htm For some reason, the link isn't fully recognized (maybe it's the ! signal in the URL, really strange), but just copy it and paste into the browser URL field it will work. Pretty amazing!! Two axis vectoring (yaw and pitch). Roll is accomplished by inverse vectoring of both nozzles in the pitch axis (one goes up, the other goes down). I'm generally not a fan of jets, but this one got me interested!!!
