Thrust-vectoring makes impossible maneuvers possible. The huge, powerful jets can perform extremely tight turns that ...

Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems. These thrust ...

The complex technology behind the fighter jet engines is guarded fiercely but India can draw lessons from its domestically built one ...

A new plasma thruster could scale up to compete with traditional jet engines. The plasma is magnified by high-intensity microwaves and pressurized air. Researchers had to invent a way to measure the 1 ...

One of the great things about technology nowadays is how quickly an idea can get out there and take off. That’s because concepts are now able to get the funding they need in order to get their ...

Assuming we hand-wave all of the scaling questions (!!), what this really looks like is a step towards real electrically-power airplanes. If I read this correctly, this system is considerably more ...
