Exactly, That's why 1960's design aircraft like Harrier jump jets have movable ducts.

Harrier is / was well cool
have a few stories

but fun one for the forums,
the hover time was limited,
by the amount of water it could carry
In hover, the engines were water boosted, and over run,
the water stopped them melting,

Seeing the water gauge in the cockpit always makes me smile, and respect the pure engineering solution to the thrust question.

@cmartinez; something weird going on. At first your post appeared blank. Then all of a sudden the video appeared. However, when I click on it I get about a quarter second of something, then it's back to the beginning.
