Proving that you can't keep a good technology down, Reaction Engines' Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE) has a new lease on life after a British-led consortium announced Invictus, a new ...

While the World War II era was the first time we saw fighter jet engines take to the sky, there were some earlier operational prototypes. Anselm Franz, an Austrian engineer, designed and fitted one of ...

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 ...

The Earth is much larger than most people realize. You need to use engines if you want to efficiently navigate large sections of the planet. Everything from cars to planes relies on engines, but they ...

Rotating Detonation Engines (RDE) have been flown by Venus Aerospace. They use continuous detonation waves for propulsion and provide 15% efficiency gains (in specific impulse or fuel consumption) ...

In the late 1940s, GE introduced the J-47 gas turbine engine, which became the most-produced jet engine of the early jet age, ...
