vectored thrust changes the direction of force as related to the CG. not the total amount of thrust produced. now airspeed, lift, drag can all be effected. Weight stays the same(although fuel is being burned, unless its electric).


If you a flight engineer, must explain why the didn't move you to the control yoke. and left you to watch the dials.
I agree with you Tampaflyer. All I know is I point the nozzle down = down thrust I point the nozzle up = up thrust and I will point my nozzle down on my Navy Cat. Good thing they don't steer rockets.
