Explore the benefits of thrust vectoring on your application.

The Evaluation Kit is the simplest embodiment of TVP technology. The propulsor can generate over 91 kg of thrust (200 lbs-t), and point it +/-20° about a single axis in less than 0.20 seconds. 

The kit consists of an unshrouded 1.0m (39.4 in) diameter three-blade propeller with ground adjustable blade pitch, a flight-weight hub, carbon fiber strut assembly, and drive shaft assembly. It can be mounted in any orientation and accommodate powerplants spinning in either direction, in pusher or puller configurations. The drive shaft is sized to mate with an electric motor or petrol engine, or can be supplied with a blank flange for custom configurations.

Control forces are low and constant, which is consistent with pivoting through the center of thrust. (Note the small servo at left, used to redirect 100% of the thrust.) There is little change in the control loads with RPM or thrust – only tilt rate has a measurable affect.

Gyroscopic precession torques are negligible at operational tilt rates, however, if interested in studying or assessing its effects, precession torques can be made apparent with extreme tilt rates at maximum rotational velocities.
