DOE supercomputers will simulate the in-flight performance of a GE Aerospace open-fan concept engine, to evaluate its energy-efficiency and noise levels. The CFM International Open Fan concept jet ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The idea of a hybrid-electric engine for supersonic aircraft may elicit a similar initial response, but there is some very firm engineering logic behind it. Put simply, conventional supersonic engines ...
