Professor Jau Tang and his team at Wuhan University have developed a prototype jet engine powered by microwave air plasmas, offering thrust without ... a propellant-less rocket that defies ...

The closed-cycle rocket engine design. Image via Wikipedia ... It would be twice as big as the NK-33, with five times the thrust of a jumbo jet. The RD-180 was not a slam dunk design, however.

The magnetic field then accelerates the xenon ions out of the propulsion jet. The resulting thrust is no greater than the pressure of a piece of paper on the outstretched palm of the hand – tiny in ...

50 pounds of thrust, and the fuel consumption isn't insane. It's quite manageable. In terms of how the jet suit works, so, in some ways it's really simple. You've got a pair of engines on each arm ...

Thrust chambers that develop more ... and modeling of reactive flows and heat transport in rocket engines. The supersonic flow in expansion nozzles and the acoustic emission of the engine exhaust jet ...

Zubrin also had a design for interplanetary propulsion called the Nuclear Salt Water Rocket. A nuclear salt-water rocket ... with an acceleration of 3.4 Earth g’s. The total jet power output of the ...

SpaceX made multiple changes in the wake of a January Starship failure, only to suffer a second straight vehicle breakup Thursday.

When sitting in a landing plane, you might have noticed a backward force, pushing against the plane and slowing it down. What ...

Capable of generating up to 16 million pounds of thrust — more than twice the power as NASA's Saturn 5 moon rocket — the Super Heavy-Starship arced away to the east atop of long jet of bluish ...
