These are the thrust vector and reaction control system.

He switched the thrust vectors over to vertical, giving maximum lift to reduce the force of impact.

Then he pressed a control to increase the Z- component of his thrust vector and create some lift.

This is due to the upward fraction of the thrust vector.

A personal transmission would be nice, but, failing that, I will expect to see a change in your thrust vector.

It vanished as he turned on interior gravity and applied a thrust vector.

For lower take-off speeds the thrust vector is greater.

Travis got the ship stabilized on her new thrust vector, and then joined us in the common room.

The controls kept the corvette aligned by minute changes in the thrust vector.

Two thrust vectors did not provide enough lift.
