Thrust Vector Control (TVC) helps a propulsion system to redirect its thrust to provide directional control. The ability to control the thrust vector of a propulsion system is immensely advantageous to launch vehicles and systems, and Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing (S/VTOL) aircraft. Thrust vector control in a space shuttle vehicle with multiple engines helps in maintaining the trajectory, and minimizes the risk of engine/propulsion system as a whole by independently controlling the thrust magnitude and nozzle gimbal angles of each engine. For launch vehicles, missiles and fighter aircraft, thrust vector control is a crucial technology to control trajectory and maneuverability. In a satellite system, thrust vector control is used to correct the misalignment and orbit position. The scope of this report covers the thrust vector control technology used in launch vehicles, missiles, spacecraft, satellites, fighter aircraft, and (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) UAVs.
