It was called intake momentum drag in the Harrier. Sideslip needed to be kept to a minimum in the transition from Jet-borne to wing-borne and vice versa, with AOA at 8. There were pedal shakers but more importantly a "wind vane" on the nose in your line of sight to assist in controlling the sideslip.
