This seems like it would involve a massive number of small fans or jets, which sound like more moving parts than flaps would be.
What gives?
- bruce511 3y agoAs I understand from the article it bleeds air from the exhaust for this purpose. So I assume no more than a few valves, and a computer. There will presumably be a slight drop in thrust, but I expect that's too small, and too short-lived to be material.
