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 ...

Recently, the Russian defense industry introduced a new jet engine called "Izdeliye 177" (Product 177) for the ...

The U.S. unveils a next-generation adaptive cycle jet engine that can reconfigure itself in flight, shifting between long-range efficiency and maximum combat thrust on demand. We break down how a ...

Thrust vectoring—essentially redirecting the plane’s exhaust flow—allows modern fighters to quickly change direction, giving ...

An EDF (electric duct fan) is a motor that basically functions as a jet engine for RC aircraft. They’re built for speed, but to improve maneuverability (and because it’s super cool) [johnbecker31] ...

Producers of military jet engines are rolling out new lines of small turbofans, eyeing an expected boom in demand for uncrewed fighter aircraft. US propulsion suppliers Pratt & Whitney (P&W), GE ...
