Jet engines are an engineering marvel, but how do they actually work to keep planes soaring at incredible speeds? In this video, we’ll break down the complex mechanics behind jet propulsion in a way ...

Jet engines that you find (most commonly) or airplanes have a particular kind of fan that helps make the whole thing work.

A jet engine is a highly complex piece of equipment with a straightforward job: to give an airplane the thrust it needs to fly. Anyone who has felt themselves pushed back slightly in their seat as ...

At first, his model came out 0.005 grams out of balance, which might not seem much, but at the speeds a jet engine rotates, it risks breaking apart. In the end, he balances it out by 0.001 grams ...

Jet engines can be much more efficient and much quieter than they are today. The trick to doing it is as simple as adding a gearbox, but the process of doing so has taken nearly 30 years.

The engines need to handle water, so GE will set up a hose and blast a running GEnx engine with 800 gallons of water per minute. When the test goes as planned, all that rain flies through the ...

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.
