You could call it a temple of thrust -- a building designed to handle the massive thrust these engines can kick up. Walls 3 feet thick and giant doors weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds enclose ...

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 ...

The race to bring hypersonic flight into the real world just took a leap forward with Venus Aerospace's successful test of a revolutionary engine. The Houston-based startup has developed a compact ...

Testing spaces at PBS Aerospace’s HQ include areas to fine-tune and troubleshoot turbines, compressors, exhaust systems. PBS Aerospace officially opened its new North American headquarters in Roswell ...

A few days ago, California-based defense tech firm Anduril concluded the first test flights of its semi-autonomous Fury fighter jet without a pilot in the cockpit. Oh wait, there's actually no cockpit ...

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 ...

GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess of Mach 5 in a smaller, cheaper, lighter, and more efficient package than ...

In addition, replacing all those mechanical parts makes the engine cheaper – an important point with what is essentially a disposable power plant. For testing, the engine installed in the ATLAS Flight ...
