He added three jet engines to his Model S, built the electronically controlled engine system from scratch, and created what is probably the only Tesla that can burn through 2 gallons of fuel in ...

said no Kei truck owner ever. Then Cody Detwiler bought one, and all the hot hinges of hell broke loose when he customized it with a fighter jet engine. And took it out on the highway for a test ...

Jet engines are complex and costly due to their sophisticated designs, use of expensive materials like superalloys, and the ...

It gave Concorde's engines a fiery glow (and also made them extremely loud). Most jet engines wouldn't perform well if they took in air flowing at supersonic speeds. Concorde's ingeniously ...

Turbofan engines are started using bleed air from the auxiliary power unit. An air starter drives the engine's high-pressure ...

The increased demand for air travel means that airplane makers always need bigger and better jet engines to bring these airframes to the sky. While the two largest passenger planes to enter ...

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.

Cue the development of the 3D printed water jet engine (YouTube link, embedded below). The basic principle of operation is simple. Water is sucked through an inlet, where it is accelerated by a ...

To make this possible, engineers have to develop the jet engines that will power them. Experiments by researchers are now providing the necessary basis for making these engines powerful and durable.

An icon in the ... world's largest two-engine airliner, but it's been a long and difficult road. In November 2013, the American planemaker announced a brand new commercial jet — the Boeing ...

It’s left to [Integza] to take this idea and see it as the compressor for a jet engine, and though the prototype you see in the video below is fragile and prone to melting, it shows some promise.

In jet engines, the interaction of flames and the sound generated by combustion can cause vibrations. These vibrations put a heavy strain on the engines. Engineers therefore do everything they can to ...
