The landscape of aviation takes a mighty leap forward with the imminent construction of the world’s most powerful fighter jet engine, boasting a remarkable 40,000 lbs thrust power. This monumental ...

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 ...

"A jet engine is not that much different from an internal combustion engine in that it pushes the air in, squeezes it, ignites it and pushes it out.” Simon Lipscombe’s idiot-proof explanation of the ...

The refinement of the fighter jet seems to have happened at a blistering pace. The world's first operative fighter jet was Germany's Messerschmitt Me 262, which took to the skies during the latter ...

Historically, the thrust-to-weight ratio concept has served as a benchmark for the evolution of fighter jets. An aircraft’s thrust-to-weight ratio is a statistic that is often thrown around, but one ...

Five years ago, in 2021, American space agency NASA announced it is working on yet another project that doesn’t involve, well, space: the Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC). Since then, NASA’s ...
