Fighter jet engines are complex machines that enable aircraft to reach incredible speeds. The modern fighter jet is defined by its engine, which accelerates a tremendous volume of air rearward that it ...

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 ...

With their capability to fly higher, farther, and more efficiently, jet engines have transformed air travel since their introduction. From its origins in the 1930s, the jet engine was a substantial ...

East Hartford-based jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney has been awarded an $11 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense to build F100 engines for military aircraft, a member of Connecticut’s ...

Jet-engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney has been awarded an approximately $1.1 billion contract from the U.S. government for additional work on F100 engines for fighter jets. The contract was awarded ...

It doesn't seem to matter how powerful jet engine technology becomes; the cost of air travel doesn't seem to be coming down any time soon. But that doesn't mean de facto flagship airlines like Delta ...

In the endless pursuit of faster, more efficient travel, engineers have been cooking up all kinds of new forms of propulsion. One of the most interesting to emerge in the last decade is the electric ...

This was not a one-off experiment built for a headline. The hydrogen work followed a staged path, beginning in 2022 when easyJet and Rolls-Royce ran a modern AE2100 aircraft engine on 100% green ...
