TVC Methods:
1. Gimbaled Engine:
In this case, the engine
has a hinge or a gimbal
(a universal joint) that
allows rotation about its
axis that is the whole
engine is pivoted on a
bearing.
5.
Jetavators:
The
system has rotating airfoil
shaped collar, and gives
an
unsymmetrical
distribution of gas flow.
This provides a side force
thereby changing the
direction of flight.
