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 ...

There are a lot of different aircraft, and they all use a variety of engines from different engine manufacturers. Two of the more commonly used engines are turbofan and turbojet engines. They have a ...

These aircraft incorporate advanced avionics, stealth capabilities, and high-performance materials to enhance survivability and combat effectiveness. With thrust vectoring nozzles, they achieve ...

GE Aerospace reported it is working with NASA to test a hybrid electric demonstrator engine with NASA that will embed electric motor/generators in a high-bypass commercial turbofan, to supplement ...

The race to field reusable hypersonic aircraft got a whole lot hotter last month, with GE Aerospace announcing a breakthrough in high-speed jet engine design that could potentially allow conventional ...

Click to open image viewer. Following the September 1967 commitment of corporate funds to develop the engine, the General Electric CF6-6 turbofan was selected in April 1968 to power the McDonnell ...

Ice crystal accretion and icing in turbofan engines present a significant challenge to aviation safety and engine performance worldwide. The phenomenon occurs when high-altitude glaciated particles, ...

Pratt & Whitney developed the TF30 turbofan engine as a private venture, originally working with Douglas Aircraft in early marketing considerations for the DC-9 small jet transport. However, what was ...

Embraer expects a massive revenue bump in the coming years for its Portuguese maintenance unit OGMA as it begins ramping up work on Pratt & Whitney (P&W) PW1000G geared turbofan (GTF) engines.

The F135 turbofan engine from Pratt & Whitney powers every variant of the F-35 Lightning II (making it one of the 8 fighter jets with Pratt & Whitney engines powering them) and is the most advanced ...
