Example implementations provide fluid-borne vehicles comprising a body and a plurality of thrust vectoring modules, each thrust vectoring module comprising a set of thrust producing means, wherein a first thrust producing means, mounted on a first mounting bar having a first mounting bar axis, is rotatable about the mounting bar axis and the mounting bar axis is rotatable about an arm having an arm axis that is nonparallel to the mounting bar axis; and a second thrust producing means, mounted on a second mounting bar having a second mounting bar axis, is rotatable about the second mounting bar axis and the second mounting bar axis is rotatable about the arm axis that is nonparallel to the second mounting bar axis.
1-36. (canceled)
A fluid-borne vehicle, comprising:
The vehicle of claim 6, wherein the at least one actuator arranged to rotate the at least the first thrust producer about the first axis is operable to vary the orientation of an axis of rotation of at least the first thrust producer.
A thrust vectoring assembly to vector thrust, the assembly comprising:
A thrust vectored vehicle, comprising:
A fluid-borne vehicle, comprising a thrust vectoring module, wherein the thrust vectoring module comprises a plurality of thrust producers, a first plurality of thrust producers is rotatable about a first axis and the first axis is rotatable about a second axis, which is not substantially parallel to the first axis, and a second plurality of thrust producers is rotatable about a third axis and the third axis is rotatable about the second axis, which is not substantially parallel to the third axis.
