We've all thought about what would happen when you pour jet fuel into a diesel engine. Will it work or lead to immediate catastrophic failure, perhaps even an explosion? Planes are among the most ...

Innovations in jet technology are happening all the time. This is due to modern advancements, which are leading engineers in new directions previously only theorized. The latest example is the plasma ...

Helicopters don't all use the same fuel, nor do airplanes. Some types are rather standard, though, such as Aviation Gasoline for older propeller aircraft and models with piston engines. In addition, ...

Look inside a ramjet engine, and all you'll see is an empty tube. Switch it on when it's on the ground and all you'll get is the same hollow tube with jet fuel squirting into it, achieving nothing.

From the 1970s through the 1990s, tri-jets were a common sight in our skies. Aircraft with three jet engines were capable of transoceanic flights and more fuel-efficient than four-engine aircraft like ...

Fighter jet engines are complex machines that enable aircraft to reach incredible speeds. The modern fighter jet is defined by its engine, which accelerates a tremendous volume of air rearward that it ...

The world’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels, especially for transportation, has left a deep mark on both the planet and public health. Burning these fuels releases a flood of greenhouse gases, which ...

In the late 1940s, GE introduced the J-47 gas turbine engine, which became the most-produced jet engine of the early jet age, ...

In May 2025, Delhi NCR-based Green Aero also successfully demonstrated its first hydrogen-powered jet engine named The Blue Dragon, but commercial deployment of such engines is still a long way away ...

American aerospace giant Boeing has taken a bit of tarnish of late. A pair of deadly crashes and other lesser malfunctions have sullied the reputations of the latest iterations of the brand's 737 Max ...
