This was not a one-off experiment built for a headline. The hydrogen work followed a staged path, beginning in 2022 when easyJet and Rolls-Royce ran a modern AE2100 aircraft engine on 100% green ...

A unique pulse jet experiment using a pumpkin setup showcasing DIY engineering creativity and combustion based propulsion ...

Welcome back to the Fluctus Channel, where we explore the latest in military aviation and naval innovation, from GE and Safran’s next-gen jet engines to joint U.S.-Dutch maritime operations, carrier ...

Five years ago, in 2021, American space agency NASA announced it is working on yet another project that doesn’t involve, well, space: the Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC). Since then, NASA’s ...

GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess of Mach 5 in a smaller, cheaper, lighter, and more efficient package than ...

A hybrid-electric jet engine may seem as absurd as a horse-drawn Zeppelin, but GE Aerospace is ground testing a new megawatt-class hybrid turbofan engine and its full powertrain that is powerful ...

Rim-driven thrusters turn the normal propeller-motor arrangement inside out; rather than mounting the motor at the center of the propeller, they use a large hollow motor, with the blades attached to ...

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 ...

In addition, replacing all those mechanical parts makes the engine cheaper – an important point with what is essentially a disposable power plant. For testing, the engine installed in the ATLAS Flight ...

While the World War II era was the first time we saw fighter jet engines take to the sky, there were some earlier operational prototypes. Anselm Franz, an Austrian engineer, designed and fitted one of ...
