Mog; your welcome to the Pucara crew probably would have been less enthusiastically received by the Pucara crew.
Would have been interesting to see how a forward cold nozzle only deflection, would have worked on the Harrier. that would seem to act to reduce long stab which would be helpful for getting rates for a modicum of thrust loss. Would be fun unless it was overcooked.
the graphs below (or the differences at least) predate even the Harrier, (R.I.P.) At VNE, the Venetian blind loses half its V in 6 seconds of turn, Tommy's plane losses that in 15 seconds from the analysis. Cheating is winning, whatever the ride.
Flew a couple of times with Al Curtiss pre 82, sad end.
