Jet engines are at the heart of modern air travel, powering the majority of commercial aircraft. These advanced propulsion ...

Propeller-fan engines represent a fascinating development in aviation propulsion, combining the benefits of both jet & propeller technology to create an efficient, high-performance system for modern ...

The eco-friendly approach does not mean an aircraft powered by open fan engines would be less potent. The goal is to make the tech in such a way as to allow the planes to reach speeds of Mach 0.8 ...

Confirming this capability is a big step towards improving the efficiency of current and future aero-engines as UltraFan delivers a 10% efficiency improvement over our Trent XWB, which is already the ...

The world’s largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380, has been recruited as a flight test demonstrator to trial new open fan engine architecture which could cut CO2 emissions by 20%, compared to ...

On October 11, 2024, Astro Mechanica successfully performed the first hot-fire test up to 30% power of its Gen3 engine. Traditional turbojets, like you'd see in fighter planes, use the exhaust gas ...

The engine will undergo ground testing and flight test validation at GE Aviation's engine testing center in Victorville, California. Then, it will be mounted to the A380 for tests at the Airbus ...

It's an open secret that the U.S. military is actively developing a new fighter jet more advanced and capable than its cutting-edge F-35 Lightning II. Known as the Next Generation Air Dominance ...

A 50-inch fan provides this thrust, while roll posts and jet pipes on the wings also provide additional downward thrust, with almost 2,000 foot-pounds being diverted from the main engine.

This Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger jet, has been recruited as a demonstrator to trial new cutting-edge open fan engine architecture which could help cut carbon emissions by up to 20%.
