Considered among the most efficient large aero-engines, this beauty costs an estimated $35 million. The 68 HP turbine blades generate a massive amount of horsepower and a thrust of 84,000 pound-force.

A new model accurately represents the airflow around rotors, even under extreme conditions. The first comprehensive model of rotor aerodynamics could improve the way turbine blades and wind farms ...

Since a turbine engine generates force through rotation, you would expect simply spinning it the other way would create the reverse thrust a jet needs to slow down.

However, Glauert did not account for the total force and moment coefficients acting on the rotor—the spinning unit with attached blades—or how turbine blades bend under wind pressure.

China’s next-gen turbine blade promises supercharged jet power, more longevity Thermotolerant jet engine blade is designed for more thrust and fuel efficiency, strengthening China’s aviation ...

A Penn State undergraduate student has significantly improved a century-old mathematical problem related to wind turbine design, potentially leading to more efficient and cost-effective wind ...

A young student has revamped a century-old math problem and unlocked a simple, yet elegant solution to optimize wind turbine flow conditions and enhance power output. Divya Tyagi, an aerospace ...

It then drives turbines, and one of those turbines powers the fan blades at the front of the engine. And remember, it’s the air that bypasses the core that gives the engine most of its thrust ...

Jet turbine blades can’t tolerate the heat in the hot section of modern jet engines, so they shoot out bleed air that provides a tiny insulating layer between the hot erosive stream coming out ...

However, Glauert did not account for the total force and moment coefficients acting on the rotor -- the spinning unit with attached blades -- or how turbine blades bend under wind pressure.

Developed by MIT, the first comprehensive model of rotor aerodynamics could enhance the design of turbine blades and wind farms, and how wind turbines are controlled. For the first time, engineers ...
