how do you know?

#

Because America's first and only "thrust vectoring" aircraft is the F-22.
And the engine equipment obviously isn't present.

what about the av8??

#

or do you mean american made?

#

I'm talking the way you actually mean thrust vectoring. Don't go extending the goalposts & arguing after being corrected.

#

The only thrust-vectoring on any "F-16" was on X-62, a technology experiment platform.

#

why are you just ignoring the harrier was a thing?

#

thats confusing

tulip light Dec 10, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

Because the Harrier is not automatic. It's entirely manual.

#

For landing "only".

#

why would it matter if its manual or auto?

tulip light Dec 10, 2022, 2:14 AM

#

Irrelevant to this discussion.

#

This is someone questioning & being wrong about F-16.
