The pause before takeoff is not hesitation, but a critical moment of engine verification and thrust stabilization.

Scientists have used one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to find out how ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Boom Supersonic is putting its engine technology to work on the ground to power the AI boom, and help fund development of its full-size Overture aircraft. Jesse Orrall (he/him/his) is a Senior Video ...

This video shows a passenger jet undergoing a high power engine test while stationary on the runway. The engines are run at near maximum thrust, producing intense noise and visible airflow effects.
