Thrust vectoring is a phenomenon that allows the most maneuverable fighter jets to make faster and tighter turns. A specialized nozzle and thrust vectoring mechanism within the aircraft engines directs exhaust thrust up and down by a few degrees. Fighter pilots aim to achieve low-speed, high angle-of-attack maneuverability to get ahead of their enemy during a combat mission.
