In an effort to create a simpler, more affordable form of jet propulsion, University of Maryland spinoff Wave Engine Corporation has developed a digitally controlled modern-day pulsejet engine for ...

Bob Maddox’s stage name, Crazy Rocketman, is a misnomer. Maddox doesn’t build rockets. He builds pulse-jet engines. There’s a difference. As for the crazy part—that may be true. Maddox is the world’s ...

Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems. These thrust ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
