Adaptive cycle engines are specially designed to alternate between efficiency and raw power—extending an aircraft’s range ...

The development of a new turboelectric jet engine is set to transform air travel by enabling affordable supersonic flights, potentially cutting travel time from San Francisco to Tokyo to just three ...

Diesel aircraft engines promise lower fuel burn and cheaper operating costs at a time when every gallon and every kilogram ...

Put simply, conventional supersonic engines are jet engines that are capable of reconfiguring themselves to operate at air speeds beyond Mach 1. That means shifting the flow of air and moving ...

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 ...

DOE supercomputers will simulate the in-flight performance of a GE Aerospace open-fan concept engine, to evaluate its energy-efficiency and noise levels. The CFM International Open Fan concept jet ...

Perhaps not as visible as their counterparts doing business in the automotive industry, aviation startups are just as numerous. Some of them are proposing outlandish ideas that will probably never ...

Airbus is teasing technologies that could enable its next-generation single-aisle jet, including innovative engine and wing designs aimed at boosting efficiency. The Toulouse-based airframer provided ...

Rotating Detonation Engines (RDE) have been flown by Venus Aerospace. They use continuous detonation waves for propulsion and provide 15% efficiency gains (in specific impulse or fuel consumption) ...

It is true that both the 747-8, the final and ultimate iteration of the Boeing double-decker jumbo jet, and the 787 ...
