Modern jet engines operate in gas temperatures exceeding the melting point of their own components, surviving only through extreme materials science, hollow single-crystal blades, internal air cooling ...

A jet engine is any engine that can propel an aircraft of some kind via rearward expulsion of a jet of fluid, typically a hot exhaust gas that the engine generates by drawing in fuel from the ...

Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems. These thrust ...

The world’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels, especially for transportation, has left a deep mark on both the planet and public health. Burning these fuels releases a flood of greenhouse gases, which ...

The landscape of aviation takes a mighty leap forward with the imminent construction of the world’s most powerful fighter jet engine, boasting a remarkable 40,000 lbs thrust power. This monumental ...

Screenshot from social media post of Ukrainian volunteers assembling a small cruise missile with a pulsating Trembita engine. Its task is to destroy objects and exhaust the enemy’s anti-aircraft ...

Bob Maddox’s stage name, Crazy Rocketman, is a misnomer. Maddox doesn’t build rockets. He builds pulse-jet engines. There’s a difference. As for the crazy part—that may be true. Maddox is the world’s ...

There's no argument that helicopters are not the same as jets. From their vertical lift to their hovering abilities, helicopters serve a purpose uniquely their own. But that doesn't mean they aren't ...

In the late 1940s, GE introduced the J-47 gas turbine engine, which became the most-produced jet engine of the early jet age, ...
