This visualization shows the instantaneous wall heat flux on the suction surface of turbine blades in a high-pressure turbine engine. The levels of surface roughness in the leading-edge region are ...

Before nearly every jet departure, there is a brief pause on the runway where the engines increase in power while the aircraft remains stationary. To an observer, it may look like a moment of ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists have used one of the world's most powerful supercomputers to find out how microscopic damage to turbine blades ...

Aerial firefighting helicopters ingest significant volumes of airborne particles, and operators are advised to conduct periodic “compressor washes” to remove the contaminants from the compressor.

Getting on a plane and landing safely always brings a sense of relief, especially in light of recent crashes. However, this doesn't mean you didn't look out the window mid-flight and think about ...

Because of their typical role in aerial combat, fighter jet engineering prioritizes speed and agility. To achieve this level of performance, fighter jets integrate aerodynamic form, cutting-edge ...

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 ...
