Professor Jau Tang and his team at Wuhan University have developed a prototype jet engine powered by microwave air plasmas, ...

There are many planes that help you fly the friendly skies, and most of them have same engines. Here's what engine and why ...

Professor Jau Tang and his team have developed a prototype jet engine that uses microwave air plasmas for thrust, a method ...

This is where the second goal of backyard jet engines come in – thrust. You need a usable amount of thrust before you can strap that engine to a go-cart and go cruising around the neighborhood.

South Korea's KAI developed its T-50 trainer into an inexpensive fighter jet called the FA-50, powered by a single GE Aerospace F404-GE-102 engine. With 17,700 pounds of thrust, it can propel this ...

NASA's F/A-18 (left) and X-31 are among the airplanes used to gather data for thrust-vectoring ... Flaps in the engine nozzle point up or down to “steer” the jet exhaust, making the airplane ...

It can soar to an altitude of 1,200 feet and has a maximum flight time of five to 10 minutes. The UK company behind the jet ... engines on your back, which provide the third leg of the tripod of ...

The nominal operating point of a jet engine simulation model is 0.8 Mach and 3000 m Altitude. The generated thrust is 60 kN and rotor operates at 14000 RPM at this operating point. Figure 4 shows the ...

Even at full thrust, ambient pressures of a few millibars can be maintained in the altitude ... which the engine fires directly into a supersonic core diffuser, and extraction, in which the hot gas is ...
