Prof. An Tao from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel "precessing magnetic jet engine" model to explain the peculiar gamma-ray burst ...

Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...

The refinement of the fighter jet seems to have happened at a blistering pace. The world's first operative fighter jet was Germany's Messerschmitt Me 262, which took to the skies during the latter ...

Perhaps not as visible as their counterparts doing business in the automotive industry, aviation startups are just as numerous. Some of them are proposing outlandish ideas that will probably never ...

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 ...

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 ...

It's not every day that we get to talk at length about the achievements of a particular jet engine. Sure, we do mention them from time to time when discussing the aircraft they power, but that's about ...

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 ...
