WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University researchers have created a software tool that is more than 100 times faster than other programs used by engineers to improve jet engine designs. The software ...

Is it possible to build a world-class air force on engines that crack, stall, and occasionally threaten to self-destruct mid-flight? For decades, China’s answer seemed to be a reluctant yes until a ...

The complex technology behind the fighter jet engines is guarded fiercely but India can draw lessons from its domestically built one ...

This behind-the-scenes look follows the full process of designing and building a jet engine for use in film. From concept sketches to final assembly, we explore the mechanical, visual, and practical ...

The best fighter jets in the world cost a fortune. One of the reasons for this is because of the unbelievably high prices of the engines that power these air fighters. The engine has to be ...

Bob Maddox’s stage name, Crazy Rocketman, is a misnomer. Maddox doesn’t build rockets. He builds pulse-jet engines. There’s a difference. As for the crazy part—that may be true. Maddox is the world’s ...
