Plasma jet engines promise a future of fuel-free, electrically driven flight, but the technology faces a stubborn obstacle that no amount of enthusiasm can wish away. Ionizing air to generate thrust ...

You could call it a temple of thrust -- a building designed to handle the massive thrust these engines can kick up. Walls 3 feet thick and giant doors weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds enclose ...

Beehive Industries will test its 3D-printed engines for use by the USAF, which are reportedly cheaper to build, use, and service compared to traditionally manufactured engines.

Deliveries of the updated geared turbofan engine have begun, and with certifications from EASA and FAA in place the GTF ...

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 ...

It is easy to admire an aircraft in flight, gliding across the sky, but far harder to imagine the furnace within—jet engines, ...

A next-generation combustor and refined turbine aerodynamics also help the engine trim its overall carbon emissions and limit ...
