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 ...

In the late 1940s, GE introduced the J-47 gas turbine engine, which became the most-produced jet engine of the early jet age, ...

The world’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels, especially for transportation, has left a deep mark on both the planet and public health. Burning these fuels releases a flood of greenhouse gases, which ...

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 ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. SNECMA's work on pulse-jets began in ...

There's no argument that helicopters are not the same as jets. From their vertical lift to their hovering abilities, helicopters serve a purpose uniquely their own. But that doesn't mean they aren't ...

From the 1970s through the 1990s, tri-jets were a common sight in our skies. Aircraft with three jet engines were capable of transoceanic flights and more fuel-efficient than four-engine aircraft like ...

Speculation abounds as to the cause of the Air India airplane crash on June 12. One explanation so far is that both engines of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner failed, a highly unlikely event. A list ...
