Give it wheels and a steering mechanism, and people will try to power it with anything they can. Visionary (and ...

Pre-swirl systems are a critical component in modern gas turbine engines, designed to condition the cooling airflow before it reaches the turbine rotor blades. By imparting a controlled rotational ...

A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems poised to end the internal combustion engine’s long run as the transportation motivator of choice, enterprising tinkerers continue to propose ...

We all know how a conventional internal combustion engine works, with a piston and a crankshaft. But that’s by no means the only way to make an engine, and one of the slightly more unusual ...

Rolls-Royce will shortly begin rig tests of a clean-sheet small gas turbine engine that has been specifically developed as part of a new turbogenerator being developed for the advanced air mobility ...

The coatings also demonstrated high stability and repeatability across multiple cycles, confirming their potential for ...

Rolls-Royce has completed the first fuel burn on a new small gas turbine engine it is developing as part of a lightweight turbogenerator for hybrid-electric aircraft applications. Performed at the ...

DARPA and the US Air Force have started the High Mach Gas Turbine (HMGT) program to develop reusable hypersonic planes. The core technology revolves around Turbine Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) ...

With power demand surging and fossil fuels back in fashion, it is a good time to be making turbines for gas-fired power plants. The question for the industrial companies that manufacture these ...

If you're in the market for a high-revving engine, certain exotics like the Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and roaring Lexus LFA all have redlines of at least 9,000 rpm. To that, General ...

When the Army launched the M1 tank program in the early 1970s, it was determined to avoid the cost overruns and failures that plagued earlier efforts like the MBT-70 and XM-803. This time, the Army ...
