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 ...

It whirs like a real jet engine, but this tabletop replica of a Rolls-Royce engine used in UAVs cost the UVA engineering class that built it less than $2000 in materials. That's thanks to the ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
