except he didnt
the important part is:
HORIZONTAL COMPONENT
lmao
IE the part pointing backwards he thinks is 50% of the total amount
No one, literally no one has said this. The quotes you have shown has not said this.
Wait, that’s not how it works.
think
nozzle are pointing more down then backwards the plane will go up more then forwards
of the total unvectored thrust
and guess what 10lbs is half of 20k lbs
which is the horizontal comonent at 60°
Im glad you are all not
A. structural engineers or you have strengthened the wrong side of a load baring structure
or
B. Harrier pilots you’d have all crashed
whats the horizontal component here procentual to the ammount of force?
this diagram puts the overall thrust at 33,500 lbs
thats literally more that the total thrust used in feet pics calc buddy (28,000)
bruh
ok you probably failed math
What do you think if the nozzle is pointing more down then backwards
Will half of the entire thrust point backwards?
#feetpics fans math
If you mount to the Harrier a fixed lift engine with 24,200 lbs, perpendicular to it, and a fixed engine with 14,000 lbs, their resultant thrust would be the same 28,000 lbs. That’s analogous to the Pegasus with its nozzles at 60 deg.
its math that anyone that passed math1 in collge understands
Apparently not
yeah apparently you didnt pass math1

You can’t just add them together.
I am one. You’re wrong.
Your adding up to a total that doesn’t exist because you can’t add vectors as a+b, you have to add them as sqrt(a^2 + b^2). If you start with 20k thrust and angle the nozzle to 60 deg you don’t suddenly have a new total thrust of 27,320, the total is still only 20k. The horizontal will be 10,000 (50% of the initial) and the vertical 17,320 (86.6% of the initial). (Or if you do your weird math that doesn’t exist; the horizontal becomes 36.6% and the vertical 63.4%)
You’re applying the wrong kind of math to a problem and getting a faulty result. It’s like trying to use sine and cosine when calculating temperature because it’s in degrees, it doesn’t work like that. You cant add two vectors together to get a new total and use percentages against the new non-existent total.
