Reaction Control System

In a lift-plus-lift/cruise V/STOL fighter, reaction control may be used to provide pitch, roll and yaw control power during hover and low speed flight when aerodynamic control surfaces are ineffective. This power is provided by reaction jets in the pitch, roll and yaw axes. Reaction thrust is derived from lift engine bleed air. This paper discusses the trade studies leading to the selection of a reaction control system arrangement and a bleed air management concept. The selected system, its performance characteristics, and flow management are discussed.
