3 Bearing Swivel Nozzle

Simple animation of a 3 Bearing Swivel Nozzle, something like that’s used in F-35 fighter jet to direct the nozzle/jet thrust as a part of its vertical take off/landing system.

This is a part of my contest entry that’s still in progress (a heavy cargo aircraft), will be using this on the engines. The animation itself might not be included in the final work, but let’s see later. :slight_smile:

Very cool! Can’t wait to see the final render and or animation! Definitely helps that you color coded it to see the pivot and rotation of it

Thanks, Alex! Still lotsa work, doing half of the time researching for many related aspects, to be honest I feel like making a thesis on “sustainable future heavy cargo aircraft with vertical take off/landing capability” rather than making the artwork itself, lol.

Btw, the system in real life can be seen here, and for the progress of my work you can follow it here.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Interesting video too. I like the amount of detail and research you’re taking into account. Maybe you should do a thesis too! lol. Can’t wait to see the finished result
