A hybrid-electric jet engine may seem as absurd as a horse-drawn Zeppelin, but GE Aerospace is ground testing a new megawatt-class hybrid turbofan engine and its full powertrain that is powerful ...

Rolls-Royce broke ground Monday on a new $50 million jet engine test facility at the company’s outdoor testing site on the grounds of NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center. When fully operational, the ...

Both Honeywell Aerospace and the team of GE Aerospace and Kratos have been awarded contracts to complete development of new designs for small turbofan engines meant to offer low-cost propulsion for ...

You could call it a temple of thrust -- a building designed to handle the massive thrust these engines can kick up. Walls 3 feet thick and giant doors weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds enclose ...

Testing spaces at PBS Aerospace’s HQ include areas to fine-tune and troubleshoot turbines, compressors, exhaust systems. PBS Aerospace officially opened its new North American headquarters in Roswell ...

GE Aerospace and Kratos have concluded high-altitude testing of a small jet engine intended to power uncrewed fighter aircraft. The pair, which announced their intent to jointly develop the GEK800 ...

In addition, replacing all those mechanical parts makes the engine cheaper – an important point with what is essentially a disposable power plant. For testing, the engine installed in the ATLAS Flight ...

With their capability to fly higher, farther, and more efficiently, jet engines have transformed air travel since their introduction. From its origins in the 1930s, the jet engine was a substantial ...
