Multi-directional control using upper surface blowing systems is described herein. One disclosed example method includes a flow director of an aircraft, where the flow director is to cause an exhaust stream of an upper surface blowing system to attach to a fuselage of the aircraft, and a controller to control the flow director to affect one or more of a pitch, a yaw or a roll of the aircraft by varying a degree of the attachment of the exhaust stream to the fuselage.

1. An apparatus comprising: a flow director of an aircraft, the flow director to cause an exhaust stream of an upper surface blowing system to attach to a fuselage of the aircraft, wherein the flow director includes an active flow control system disposed on the fuselage; anda controller to control the flow director to affect one or more of a pitch, a yaw or a roll of the aircraft by varying a degree of the attachment of the exhaust stream to the fuselage. 2. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein a source of the exhaust stream includes an engine of the aircraft. 3. The apparatus as defined in claim 2, wherein the flow director includes a vane mounted proximate the engine. 4. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the flow director includes a deployable effector disposed on the fuselage. 5. The apparatus as defined in claim 4, wherein a degree to which the deployable effector moves relative to the fuselage is controlled by the controller. 6. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the flow director includes an effector disposed on the fuselage. 7. The apparatus as defined in claim 6, wherein the effector is re-positionable along the fuselage. 8. An apparatus comprising: a flow director of an aircraft, the flow director to cause an exhaust stream of an upper surface blowing system to attach to a fuselage of the aircraft, wherein the fuselage includes a protrusion, and wherein the flow director directs the exhaust stream to the protrusion to control the aircraft; anda controller to control the flow director to affect one or more of a pitch, a yaw or a roll of the aircraft by varying a degree of the attachment of the exhaust stream to the fuselage. 9. A method comprising: controlling, via a flow director, an attachment of an exhaust fluid flow from an upper surface blowing system to a fuselage of an aircraft to change at least one flight characteristic of the aircraft, wherein the flow director includes an active flow control system disposed on the fuselage. 10. The method as defined in claim 9, further including controlling an effector disposed on the fuselage to vary a degree of attachment of the exhaust fluid flow to the fuselage. 11. The method as defined in claim 9, wherein the exhaust flow is directed towards an effector disposed on the fuselage. 12. The method as defined in claim 9, wherein directing the exhaust fluid flow to attach to the fuselage includes deploying an effector disposed on the fuselage. 13. A tangible machine readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed, cause a controller to at least: receive a flight input for an aircraft; andcontrol a flow director to direct an amount of flow from an upper surface blowing system engine of the aircraft to attach to a fuselage of the aircraft to control one or more of a yaw, a pitch, or a roll of the aircraft, wherein the flow director includes an active flow control system disposed on the fuselage. 14. The tangible machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon as defined in claim 13, wherein the instructions cause the controller to control a relationship between multiple effluxes of the upper surface blowing system to control one or more of the yaw, the pitch, or the roll of the aircraft. 15. The tangible machine readable medium as defined in claim 13, wherein the flight input is based on one or more of flight condition data or cockpit controls of the aircraft. 16. The tangible machine readable medium as defined in claim 13, wherein the flight input is based on one or more of flight condition data or cockpit controls of the aircraft.
