Suddenly, catching the four off guard momentarily, a single side thruster fired briefly.

The vibrations of the engines increased, and side thrusters moved the ship slowly away from the pier.

I'm programming the side thrusters to fire as we come up out of the hole and create a horizontal counter thrust.

Finally, this design also has side thrusters.

The side thrusters and, at the stern, huge rudders and elevators.

Details provided for each side thruster are:

QL Side Thrusters Easier Manoeuvring and full Control.

Switching landing gear on disables the side thrusters, but landing without landing gear destroys the taxi.

Through the build view, fortresses can build structures that increases maneuverability such as thrusters for moving forwards and backwards, and side thrusters to rotate the fortress.

Van Gelder tilted the minis nose steeply toward the surface, and used his propeller and all his side thrusters to get the greatest force possible aimed straight up.

The landward thrusters were set at a lower power level than the ocean side thrusters, so the large hull chugged along, veering with the gentle curve of the coast.

They were able to generate a small amount of artificial gravity, about 0.00015 g, by firing their side thrusters to slowly rotate the combined craft like a slow-motion pair of bolas.

A sensor used the satellite's side thruster rockets to align the rocket with these "index stars," so that it was correctly aligned with the Earth and the cameras pointed in the right direction.

The ocean side thrusters thrummed a little faster and the lifer nosed in toward the ring-island, pushing through a skirt of floating kelp and on under the shadow of overhanging jungle growth.

The DP software monitors these streams of data and issues commands to the six azimuth thrusters (variable-direction propellers) and one side thruster in the bow, telling them where to point and how hard to push.

Parallel movement in the horizontal direction is achieved by using a combination of the horizontal thruster on the bow and the right and left stern thrusters, while vertical movement uses a combination of the bow side thrusters and the top and bottom stern thrusters.

A modern icebreaker typically has shielded propellers both at the bow and at the stern, as well as side thrusters; pumps to move water ballast from side to side; and holes on the hull below the waterline to eject air bubbles, all designed to allow an icebreaker stuck amidst thick ice to break free.
