Design

MiG-29M/OVT - all-angle deflectable thrust vector

The MiG-29 is made according to the normal aerodynamic scheme and has an integrated layout. The airframe of the aircraft consists of a profiled carrier fuselage developed along the length and span, smoothly articulated through the influx zone with a trapezoidal wing, an all-moving differentially deflectable stabilizer and a two-keel vertical tail. Two engines are installed in isolated engine nacelles in the rear fuselage; the main air intakes of the engines are located under the center section, additional ones - on the upper surface of the wing influxes.
