Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...

Aerospace engines form the mechanical heart of modern aviation. Every commercial aircraft, cargo plane, military jet, and ...

The refinement of the fighter jet seems to have happened at a blistering pace. The world's first operative fighter jet was Germany's Messerschmitt Me 262, which took to the skies during the latter ...

Gas turbine engines on aircraft are equipped with an Engine Health Monitoring (EHM) system that collects in-service data of various installed sensors. The system is not free from malfunction or ...

Generally speaking, developing a new aircraft takes a very long time. That means years, at times decades spent researching and testing everything that goes into a plane, making sure every bit of ...

A turbofan engine, on the other hand, is designed to move huge amounts of air to propel an aircraft forward. At lower subsonic speeds, it does this quite well. Faster than that, aerodynamic drag ...

It's not every day that we get to talk at length about the achievements of a particular jet engine. Sure, we do mention them from time to time when discussing the aircraft they power, but that's about ...

Aviation engines, as vital aircraft components, encounter challenges in Condition Monitoring (CM) signal fault diagnosis, including low accuracy and poor real-time performance. To tackle these, by ...

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 ...
