All jet engines work on the same principle. The engine sucks air in at the front via a fan. A compressor, made of spinning blades inside the main shaft of the engine, then raises the pressure of this ...

A hypersonic jet engine that could travel at 16 times the speed of sound has been successfully tested in a Chinese wind tunnel, according to reports. The prototype is called a Soramjet engine and, if ...

UK engineers developing a novel propulsion system say their technology has passed another key milestone. The Sabre air-breathing rocket engine is designed to drive space planes to orbit and take ...

Modern jet engines operate in gas temperatures exceeding the melting point of their own components, surviving only through extreme materials science, hollow single-crystal blades, internal air cooling ...

December, Boom Supersonic, a company famous for seeking to bring back supersonic flights, unveiled Superpower, a 42-megawatt natural gas turbine based on jet engine technology.

The leading aerospace and defence company has announced that it has signed a new deal with South Korean automaker Hyundai to develop all-electric propulsion and hydrogen fuel cell technology for the ...

Our research has enabled Rolls-Royce plc to better predict the performance of the thermal barrier coatings on their jet engine components. The coatings have helped boost engine performance and reduce ...

Prof David Vaughan: "This is still a prototype system. If the turbine falls over, we lose all power" The UK has managed to get one of its major Antarctic bases operating in an automatic mode for the ...

A British team is developing a car that will be capable of reaching 1,000mph (1,610km/h). Powered by a rocket bolted to a Eurofighter-Typhoon jet engine, the vehicle will first mount an assault on the ...
