I think you will enjoy the book, Emvin.

Super-maneuverability is usually what they call the way that some of the modern fighters maneuver. It is often ossociated with thrust vectoring such as installed on some of the Sukhoi prototypes, the X-31, MiG-29OVT/MiG-35 and the F-22. However, it does not necessarily require thrust vectoring - it also includes very high angle of attack maneuvering such as the so-called "Cobra" maneuver that the Russians like to perform at airshows with their Sukhois (even the non-thrust vectoring types). Although the Harrier also has thrust vectoring, it does not usually maneuver in this very high angle-of-attack regime and therefore you would probably not call it capable of super-maneuverability, but the thrust vectoring in flight (VIFF-ing) of the Harrier is a type of direct force control which is another term that you may pick up in literature. Direct force control refers to unconventional maneuvering modes that have also been researched on full-scale aircraft for a long time (some of that actually goes back to early flight, but more specific programmes have been ongoing since the 60's/70s). These include side-force generators on the wings used for flat turns or direct lift control on some STOL aircraft (where you can change your lift quickly without changing pitch or angle-of-attack). Often when you think you just did something very cool in your R/C plane, such as install vertical plates on the wings for direct side-force control, chances are very good that some company or organization already tried it on full-scale aircraft many decades ago. It is very interesting to go through NACA, NASA and AGARD papers from the 40's 50's and 60's: there were some really amazing things that went on in aero-research at the time and much of that continues through today.
