When the afterburner isn't engaged and the jet is flying at cruising speed, the engine acts as a typical turbojet. It might add an extra 50% of thrust, but pilots have to use the afterburner ...

The tests were aimed at verifying the performance of the X-59's General Electric F414-GE-100 jet engine, a modified version of the engine used in Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet flown by the U.S. Navy.

GE Aerospace made public the accomplishments of a particular F404 engine that was flown on three different aircraft over the ...

The phenomenon known as ‘shock diamonds’ in the afterburner of a NASA SR-71B Jet looks strikingly similar to an enormous high-powered astronomical jet seen emanating from a distant galaxy.

Shock Diamonds and Mach Disks in jet engines exhaust can be particularly evident and fascinating at night. The video below shows RAF Lakenheath’s Propulsion Test Cell during a test of an F-15E ...

A-hed; Great Balls of Fire! Bus-Melting Jet Cars Are Getting Scarce As racetracks close and old aircraft engines get harder to find, the crowd-pleasing spectacles are endangered ...

The afterburners on the Olympus engines that powered the Concorde supersonic jet added only about 17 percent to that engine’s thrust. For the engines that power modern fighters, the increase ...

A conventional jet engine uses lots of moving parts (see diagram). Rotating blades draw in air and compress it before igniting it with fuel in a combustion chamber, creating rapidly expanding hot ...

A Concorde turbojet engine that spent years listed on eBay finally sold over the weekend to one lucky buyer, but that doesn't mean they'll be making supersonic booms of their own anytime soon ...

Technology developed by Chinese scientists that gives fighter jet engines an unprecedented level of thrust when the afterburner is activated could give the Chinese military the edge in air combat ...

A humongous jet of material ejected from the center of a distant galaxy looks strikingly similar to the afterburner flow of a fighter jet, and scientists say it may have formed in a similar way ...
