Researchers in China have unveiled a plasma-based jet propulsion concept that generates thrust using air and electrical energy rather than conventional combustion. This analysis reviews the physics ...

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 ...

The race to bring hypersonic flight into the real world just took a leap forward with Venus Aerospace's successful test of a revolutionary engine. The Houston-based startup has developed a compact ...

Public financing is being sought for developing a scaled version of the UltraFan geared turbofan propulsion system, under consideration to help Rolls-Royce return to the ...

It sounds like something out of science fiction, but the idea of a turbine jet engine in a mainstream production car is not ...

History and classifications of aero-engine -- Performance parameters of jet engines -- Pulsejet and ramjet engines -- Turbojet engine -- Turbofan engines -- Shaft engines -- High speed supersonic and ...

This chapter contains a review of toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics data for jet-propulsion fuel 8 (JP-8). Given the presence of hundreds of hydrocarbons in JP-8, it is impractical to describe here ...
