Looking at the Boeing 737 MAX now, one can't help but notice its large engines. Like other 737 variants, thesehave been given flattened bottoms to ensure they have sufficient ground clearance. But the ...
The race to field reusable hypersonic aircraft got a whole lot hotter last month, with GE Aerospace announcing a breakthrough in high-speed jet engine design that could potentially allow conventional ...
GE Aerospace is developing a hybrid electric demonstrator engine with NASA that will embed electric motor/generators in a high-bypass commercial turbofan to supplement power during different phases of ...
EVENDALE, Ohio—GE Aerospace is expanding its work with Kratos Defense & Security Solutions on low-cost, small turbofan engines, announcing plans to develop a new 1,500-pound thrust capability aimed at ...
A closer look at modern Rolls-Royce & Pratt & Whitney jetliner engines.
Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...
