The X-31 is a research aircraft built to explore the tactical benefits of the enhanced fighter maneuverability that is possible through the use of thrust vectoring. This paper gives background information on the program and on the aircraft. The high angle of attack envelope expansion phase is covered. This section details aircraft modifications that were required. The tactical utility phase of testing, including simulation and flight testing, is discussed. Helmet mounted display and supersonic thrust vectoring tests planned for the near future are briefly discussed.
