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.

This is the engine that powers Boeing’s 787 dreamliner. What sets this model apart is that it has a complete working reverse thrust system. A real jet engine would be asking a bit much of 3D ...

While ionic lifters are nothing new, this robust multi-stage thruster looked (and sounded) more like a miniature jet engine than anything that had come before it. Optimizations would need to be ...

These types of engines lack the traditional gas turbine that helps generate combustion energy and forward thrust as would typically be present in a modern jet engine. Instead, ramjet engines rely ...

With an emphasis on propeller-driven aircraft, this book discusses performance for both propeller-driven and jet aircraft. It is intended for those teaching courses in fixed-wing flight testing, and ...

and a cold thruster isn't going to give you anywhere near that. Narrator: Besides building three different engines, Matt had to build the proper jet-engine control panels, including a setup for ...

The first British jet aircraft the Gloster E28/39 Experimental aircraft first flew with a W1 Whittle engine on 15th May 1941 with a thrust of 1000lbs at RAF Cranwell England. This led to the ...

While Rolls-Royce and others in the aerospace industry are working on electric and hybrid propulsion systems for aircraft, for long-haul aircraft, at the moment jet engines are the only option.

It had few moveable parts compared to the wing of a subsonic jet ... as engines on large subsonic jets. Mounted in pairs under the wings, each engine could provide more than 38,000 lbs of thrust ...

A plane mechanic has finally explained the viral video of “duct tape” on an airliner jet engine — and revealed what it’s really used for. “We looked out of our window and saw this ...

50 pounds of thrust, and the fuel consumption isn't insane. It's quite manageable. In terms of how the jet suit works, so, in some ways it's really simple. You've got a pair of engines on each arm ...
