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 ...
