Almost identical to the Pratt & Whitney PW814GA version powering Gulfstream’s G500/600, the PW812D variant is also due to enter service later this year on Dassault’s new Falcon 6X. Credit: Pratt & ...

New in-space propulsion techniques seem to be popping out of the woodwork. The level of innovation behind moving things around in space is astounding, and now a company from Japan has just hit a ...

NASA plans to send crewed missions to Mars over the next decade – but the 140 million-mile (225 million-kilometer) journey to the red planet could take several months to years round trip. This ...

Up, up, and away! That's the flight sequence for most commercially available drones. However, for drones powered by Aerix Systems’ proprietary omnidirectional propulsion technology, a more fitting ...

Like bladeless Dyson fans on steroids, Jetoptera's unique aircraft propulsion systems look like pure sci-fi. But they're beginning to demonstrate some fascinating capabilities in testing, and the next ...

SpaceNews illustration generated with DALL-E. Astra Space seemed poised to dominate the smallsat propulsion landscape. Its 2021 acquisition of Apollo Fusion positioned the Northern California company ...

A new propulsion system feeds the same "monopropellant" fuel into electrical and chemical thrusters, potentially saving on ...
