What starts as a plan to turn a retired Formula 1 car into a jet-powered monster quickly spirals into one of the most chaotic projects yet. We follow the team as they test a fighter jet engine, take a ...
I had a simple question for my haters - how many of you own a truck with a jet engine in it? What was supposed to be Monster Max’s triumphant first trip to Utah quickly turned into a full-blown stress ...
This was not a one-off experiment built for a headline. The hydrogen work followed a staged path, beginning in 2022 when ...
GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess of Mach 5 in a smaller, cheaper, lighter, and more efficient package than ...
In addition, replacing all those mechanical parts makes the engine cheaper – an important point with what is essentially a disposable power plant. For testing, the engine installed in the ATLAS Flight ...
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 ...
A hybrid-electric jet engine may seem as absurd as a horse-drawn Zeppelin, but GE Aerospace is ground testing a new megawatt-class hybrid turbofan engine and its full powertrain that is powerful ...
Rim-driven thrusters turn the normal propeller-motor arrangement inside out; rather than mounting the motor at the center of the propeller, they use a large hollow motor, with the blades attached to ...
