Rolls-Royce is developing a hybrid jet engine designed to reduce flight emissions by roughly 30%, a target that places the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Firm, which has announced record profits and £9bn share buyback, has £3bn project for smaller commercial planes ...

A hybrid-electric jet engine may seem as absurd as a horse-drawn Zeppelin, but GE Aerospace is ground testing a new megawatt-class hybrid turbofan engine and its full powertrain that is powerful ...

GE Aerospace and Kratos have concluded high-altitude testing of a small jet engine intended to power uncrewed fighter aircraft. The pair, which announced their intent to jointly develop the GEK800 ...

GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess of Mach 5 in a smaller, cheaper, lighter, and more efficient package than ...

Next time you glance out the window mid-flight, look closer at those tiny fins on the engine. They're small, subtle, and ...

To an untrained eye, the aircraft engine sitting outside of a Cincinnati facility in December might have looked like standard hardware. But NASA and GE Aerospace researchers watching the unit fire up ...

While it's fairly common knowledge to enthusiasts that the first jet fighter was the speedy Messerschmitt Me 262, introduced in 1944, the invention of the turbine jet itself may not be as widely known ...

In addition, replacing all those mechanical parts makes the engine cheaper – an important point with what is essentially a disposable power plant. For testing, the engine installed in the ATLAS Flight ...
