Thrust vectoring
over the nee, brian was sucking smoke.
Thanks. G Wasn't really interested in how you reacted to others
responses, only in how YOU reacted.
As for the rest, you seem to have also grabbed onto the "reverse"
aspect, which is NOT what I was discussing at all. I repeat, "When
kicking an engine ahead" Thrust vectoring does not apply when going
astern, unless G you have Flanking Rudders.... which is another story
entirely.

Probably not, judging by one or two of the responses here.
Perhaps it would be easier for you to demonstrate the effect of
sucking a fluid past a board placed in the forward stream line.
Take a hand vacuum (I used a Bissett) and close to the suction nozzle,
place a sheet of paper parallel to the air flow into the nozzle.
Place the edge quite close to the nozzle's side.
You will see the paper move sidewards towards the airflow into the
vacuum if the flow speed is unequal on each side of the paper.
Bernouilli of course. The effect is quite small, but readily visible.
Faster flow leads to lower pressure, of course.
Extending the demo to the rudder placed behind the propellor spinning
in reverse to show the small side force on the rudder should then be
easier to communicate, I'd think.
