    I thought the water was injected into the exiting airflow which created a bigger force.

    And the puffer jets seem to be what i was talking about, wouldnt that have made sense as the idea of the harriers movarability would have remained???

    At least at the back would be controlled overstear in the air

    yeah it kinda works like that too.
    By cooling the engine charge it allows the engine to burn more fuel thus more thrust.
    So you can avoid overheating by reducing the throttle but as the purpose of the hover is to try to stay up then reducing thrust means meeting the ground.
    Cause and effect ... in this case you can chose which one you want to be cause and which one effect
    And the puffer jets seem to be what i was talking about, wouldnt that have made sense as the idea of the harriers movarability would have remained???
    The puffer jets introduce limitation to the airframe and AFAIK the JSF uses vectored thrust on both engines ( the lift and the main nozzle ) to achieve the same.

    At least at the back would be controlled overstear in the air
    It's going to be fun once they start extending the flight envelope durign the tests to see what maneouvres they can coem up with It was the US Marines who showed the RAF about VIFFing IN_FLIGHT. We'd only used it for take off adn hover, NOT as an evasive optoin
