A GE Aerospace flight test aircraft is shown in flight. The company announced a 1 billion dollar investment across its U.S. facilities for 2026, including upgrades to test cells and equipment at the ...

Rolls-Royce and the U.S. Air Force validated the F130's ability to meet performance requirements for the B-52 missions, getting closer to flight testing. Engine maker Rolls-Royce announced on Feb. 24, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For the tests, the ramjet wasn't lit, since the goal was to study aerodynamics. Besides, setting it off while bolted to a fighter jet would have been messy, to say the least. Actual ignition will have ...

Researchers in China have unveiled a plasma-based jet propulsion concept that generates thrust using air and electrical energy rather than conventional combustion. This analysis reviews the physics ...

Producers of military jet engines are rolling out new lines of small turbofans, eyeing an expected boom in demand for uncrewed fighter aircraft. US propulsion suppliers Pratt & Whitney (P&W), GE ...
