I built a real, working jet engine using a simple brushless motor. The results are crazy, with incredible thrust and power.

Why did McDonnell Douglas design the C-17 Globemaster III with four engines instead of two or three? This question goes beyond a simple engineering choice; it touches on the aircraft’s mission profile ...

Rim-driven thrusters turn the normal propeller-motor arrangement inside out; rather than mounting the motor at the center of the propeller, they use a large hollow motor, with the blades attached to ...

It doesn't seem to matter how powerful jet engine technology becomes; the cost of air travel doesn't seem to be coming down any time soon. But that doesn't mean de facto flagship airlines like Delta ...

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 ...

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 ...
