The Korean War featured the first jets the U.S. military flew in combat, but not everything was new and shiny. Some aircraft ...

With six cyclorotors, the BlackBird from CycloTech is designed to take off and land vertically, move sideways, brake mid-air and even parallel park.

Initially, when starting to move forward, the aircraft tilts its rotors forward to increase airspeed, using the main rotors for initial thrust before engaging the pusher propeller. This way the S ...

The move follows testing at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft ... The prop system also reduces airframe vibration and noise by around 20 decibels, and up to 20 percent more thrust, which ...

Turbojets excel in high-speed flight, while turbofans offer better efficiency. Learn about history, differences and impact on the world of aviation!

Upgraded with NP2000 propellers, the US Navy’s KC-130T tanker can refuel more aircraft than ever, boosting the power and ...

The history of the fighter jet has dominated the 20th century. See how they've evolved from rudimentary experiments to ...

A French startup called Ascendance is working on a five-people hybrid vertical take-off and landing aircraft called ATEA.

To achieve tight turns, the X2 can add reverse thrust on the pusher prop to decelerate while maximizing load factor. As the aircraft exits the turn, forward thrust is reintroduced to regain speed ...

Recent training operations in the Canadian Arctic saw the New York Air National Guard's unique fleet of Lockheed Martin ...
