“NOT the Harrier” ? Not really indeed !
D! what I meant was, i have NO idea about how Harrier behaves not that I have done much of studying about the aerodynamics or the engine.

But I will leave one clue with you, as the Harrier could "hover" or take off and land vertically, during this maneuver, if the engine is rotated in one direction, how to cancel out the force? wouldn't the fuselage and the whole body try to yaw (rather rotate) as it takes off? Helicopters have a tail rotor, does the Pegasus has some sort of mechanism? I have no idea, just for the learning!
