Jet vanes

[Albacore 569]

One of those bloody V2 rockets blew up my Dad's house. Thankfully everyone was out at the time. They had to live in prefab for a few years after that.

I'm glad your Dad and family missed that missile. so you can be around to be with us and share that and many other things.

As we quote Winston Churchill once again who always had a way often about saying it best,

"The thunder of the cannon has ceased,
The terror from the skies is over,
The oppressors are cast out and broken.

And we find ourselves breathless but still alive.
Exhausted but Free.
The future stands before us,
To make or to mar.

Old still useful concept. In 1942 The German A2 Rocket known (V2) used carbon thrust vanes for the 60 second burn time for steering by gyroscope the same ways since the rocket initially on takeoff needed very positive control in the very slow first seconds of the rockets flight since the exterior fins where useless at that portion of the vehicles flight.

But that aside except as a fun intellectual exercise, I don't see the advantage vs its added complexity. Unless it needs rapid abrupt maneuvering to counter lasers? The exterior tail surfaces are ample enough. For normal aerodynamic use. Being used for drone vertical launch?

Meant for stability control during hand launches

Was watching a video about someone making a homemade surveillance drone using an edf propulsion. The drone looks like a Tomahawk missile but has an X tail configuration with internal jet vanes.

Would these thrust vectoring jet vanes work in a sub like an internal X-tail?

Jet vanes don't work unless a significant portion of the surface is external of the nozzle.
