AN AMISH BUGGY that would normally be drawn by horses has been fitted with a turbo jet engine. “It’s like oil and water, they ...

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 ...

It's still a jet engine that burns fuel but that's in a dedicated gas turbine that operates solely as a turbogenerator to create electricity at subsonic speeds. Since that's all it does, its ...

With their capability to fly higher, farther, and more efficiently, jet engines have transformed air travel since their introduction. From its origins in the 1930s, the jet engine was a substantial ...

It is true that both the 747-8, the final and ultimate iteration of the Boeing double-decker jumbo jet, and the 787 ...

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 ...

When is an empty tube not an empty tube? When it's a ramjet that uses rotating detonation technology to propel aircraft at hypersonic speeds. A case in point is Venus Aerospace's new Venus Detonation ...

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

It's not uncommon for passenger planes or fighter jets to fly during inclement weather. Pilots commonly fly over or around thunderstorms if one is in their path, but engineers have designed planes to ...

From the 1970s through the 1990s, tri-jets were a common sight in our skies. Aircraft with three jet engines were capable of transoceanic flights and more fuel-efficient than four-engine aircraft like ...
