Too much stress on the turbine blades to be mixing those airflows
You'll end up with compressor stalls
And the turbo fan will backfire
Also requires maintenance more often than when the engines are just offset from the wing
I can't find it, but there was a proof of concpet that used "air flaps"
I.e. the bypass air from a turbine was exiting through the slots at the ends of the wings
And depending on how it was directed it acted as flaps
Basically entire read edge of a wing was acting as an exhaust
So thrust vectoring?
no
but also yes
A picture would certainly help
Thrust vectoring inside the wings, not at the end of a turbine
Okay, I think I have it
I am trying to find it, but it may be that some military got interested and it went underground
So if the engines were off, the control surfaces would still work
But while the engines were on, the airflow was directed somewhat by the surfaces?
there were many more articles about this
I wonder where they all went
It is based on the fluidics field of science
An art of affecting a flow of liquid (or air) with a smaller amout of controlled injection
Very much the transistor principle
But with fluids
And yes you can make a fluidic claculator based on this principle
I wonder how this one behaves in flight
Like shit, I imagine
the nazi one doesnt exist...
