Jet hovering ?

Hello, how a jet can do hovering=85 I mean, as the thrust is at the rear
of the plane, how the elevator and the rudder can be affect by any
wind? (as the plane is not moving).  On a regular airplane, the thrust
is in front of the airplane, so there is always an air flow on rudder
and the elevator=85

And also, if there is a delay on the turbine speed (throttle), how the
=85they manage to get it stable ? It=92s already hard to do it with a very
reactive and nervous engine, I can=92t imagine how hard it should be
with an engine with a delay which is sometime longer then a couple of
seconds=85

Have a nice day !
