In an effort to create a simpler, more affordable form of jet propulsion, University of Maryland spinoff Wave Engine Corporation has developed a digitally controlled modern-day pulsejet engine for ...

With their capability to fly higher, farther, and more efficiently, jet engines have transformed air travel since their introduction. From its origins in the 1930s, the jet engine was a substantial ...

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 ...

In the endless pursuit of faster, more efficient travel, engineers have been cooking up all kinds of new forms of propulsion. One of the most interesting to emerge in the last decade is the electric ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Despite Boeing's well-documented recent troubles, air travel is statistically still the safest form of travel. There are numerous reasons behind this, but one important factor is the reliability of ...

‘I don’t like my Honda Acty Attack’s performance. Can I get a 5,000-hp upgrade?’ said no Kei truck owner ever. Then Cody Detwiler bought one, and all the hot hinges of hell broke loose when he ...

The aviation marketplace is a weird place sometimes. Take the current shortage of jet engines, for example. A whole confluence of issues has caused a global engine crisis, resulting in Pratt & Whitney ...
