In this video, you'll see the different types of engines and propulsion systems used for aircraft, my favorite ones: Turbojet, turboprop, turboshaft, and turbofan. You'll also see the Ramjet engine. I ...

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 ...

The Rolls-Royce UltraFan could be the powerplant of choice for next-generation aircraft.

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 ...

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 ...

Put simply, conventional supersonic engines are jet engines that are capable of reconfiguring themselves to operate at air speeds beyond Mach 1. That means shifting the flow of air and moving ...

Screenshot from social media post of Ukrainian volunteers assembling a small cruise missile with a pulsating Trembita engine. Its task is to destroy objects and exhaust the enemy’s anti-aircraft ...

Aerial firefighting helicopters ingest significant volumes of airborne particles, and operators are advised to conduct periodic “compressor washes” to remove the contaminants from the compressor.

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 ...

While recent years have seen more information about the Chinese military become common knowledge, there is no denying that a lot is still unknown about its military might. Most recognize one of the ...

Testing spaces at PBS Aerospace’s HQ include areas to fine-tune and troubleshoot turbines, compressors, exhaust systems. PBS Aerospace officially opened its new North American headquarters in Roswell ...

An EDF (electric duct fan) is a motor that basically functions as a jet engine for RC aircraft. They’re built for speed, but to improve maneuverability (and because it’s super cool) [johnbecker31] ...
