Aerodynamic vanes are flat aerodynamic surfaces used to redirect fluid flow in aircraft and rocket propulsion systems, primarily through thrust vectoring applications. They function by being positioned in engine exhaust streams or as movable control surfaces to deflect thrust and control vehicle attitude without requiring gimbaled engines. First notably implemented on the V-2 rocket (using graphite exhaust vanes), this technology remains in use in modern aircraft thrust vector systems and continues to be studied for advanced flight control. The vanes operate on the principle of generating side forces and moments by deflecting propulsion flow, providing efficient attitude control particularly in environments where traditional aerodynamic surfaces are ineffective.

Vanes aerodinâmicas são superfícies aerodinâmicas planas utilizadas para redirecionar o fluxo de fluido em sistemas de propulsão de aeronaves e foguetes, primariamente através de aplicações de vetorização de empuxo. Funcionam sendo posicionadas em jatos de exaustão de motores ou como superfícies de controle móveis para defletir o empuxo e controlar a atitude do veículo sem necessidade de motores com articulação. Implementadas pela primeira vez notavelmente no foguete V-2 (utilizando vanes de exaustão em grafite), essa tecnologia permanece em uso em sistemas modernos de vetorização de empuxo em aeronaves e continua sendo estudada para controle avançado de voo. As vanes funcionam no princípio de gerar forças laterais e momentos ao defletir o fluxo de propulsão, proporcionando controle de atitude eficiente particularmente em ambientes onde superfícies aerodinâmicas tradicionais são ineficazes.
