It looks like two related topics got intermingled here. The original topic was about the above NASA work on using propulsion (without thrust vectoring) to control airplanes, using a PCA autopilot system. See prior thread called "speaking of MD-11's". Somehow this got mixed up with thrust vectoring, a whole 'nuther thing.
