The West Sea Shipyard located in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, has awarded ABB a contract to equip six new offshore patrol ...

With Sunbird in Orbit: A spacecraft launches to LEO (~9.4 km/s), docks with a Sunbird, and then the Sunbird’s fusion propulsion handles the rest. 3–5 km/s to Mars or 6–10 km/s to Jupiter. The initial ...

These are channeled by a magnetic nozzle to generate thrust, gradually pushing a spacecraft up to half the speed of light. An immediate advantage of this propulsion system is the way it combines ...

SAN FRANCISCO – Additive-manufacturing startup Raven Space Systems secured agreements to work with NASA and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory Rocket Propulsion Division. In addition ...

The work, which was completed with the RTX Technology Research Center, marks another step forward for this novel propulsion concept, which offers high thermal efficiency and performance in a ...

M/T Lunni will receive an 11.4- MW azimuthing electric Azipod-propulsion drive, which wil replace the existing shaft line and rudder. Azipod is an azimuthing electric propulsion drive, developed ...

The improved configuration is the... Guy is a Senior Editor for Aviation Week, covering technology and propulsion. He is based in Colorado Springs. Pratt & Whitney’s GTF Advantage Cleared For ...

The new tanker design also has a propulsion arrangement option—incorporating either a pair of diesel engines (top) or an Azipod propulsion unit (bottom). The arctic tanker design is 120,000-dwt ...

Also, the journey time would depend on the propulsion, means which method is being used to power the engines. However, another technology called the photon propulsion system could cut travel time to ...
