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 ...

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 ...

What starts as a plan to turn a retired Formula 1 car into a jet-powered monster quickly spirals into one of the most chaotic projects yet. We follow the team as they test a fighter jet engine, take a ...

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 ...

GE Aerospace and Kratos have concluded high-altitude testing of a small jet engine intended to power uncrewed fighter aircraft. The pair, which announced their intent to jointly develop the GEK800 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Safran Aircraft Engines is ramping up system-level testing for a future open-fan engine as it builds towards full-scale ground tests next year of the front module – including the 4m (13ft)-diameter ...

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 ...
