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 ...

A jet engine with no moving parts. Sounds like something out of Dune. But a Baltimore start-up successfully flight-tested a scaled version to prove that the concept worked. Wave Engine Corp. released ...

Researchers using the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have identified aerothermal flaws in jet engine turbine blades that conventional simulation methods could not detect. The ...

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 ...

Fighter jet engines are complex machines that enable aircraft to reach incredible speeds. The modern fighter jet is defined by its engine, which accelerates a tremendous volume of air rearward that it ...

Have you ever wondered just how big a jet engine used on a commercial aircraft is? In single-aisle airliners, for instance, the jet engines that dangle from their wings are a little under three meters ...
