Both Honeywell Aerospace and the team of GE Aerospace and Kratos have been awarded contracts to complete development of new designs for small turbofan engines meant to offer low-cost propulsion for ...

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 ...

A modern jet engine is a complex mechanical wonder. However, these aren't engines that will just roar into action with the turn of a key or the press of a button. Often, turbine engines will need ...

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 ...

Put simply, conventional supersonic engines are jet engines that are capable of reconfiguring themselves to operate at air speeds beyond Mach 1. That means shifting the flow of air and moving ...

What happens when aircraft operate in snowy conditions?

Five years ago, in 2021, American space agency NASA announced it is working on yet another project that doesn’t involve, well, space: the Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC). Since then, NASA’s ...

Honeywell aims to adapt its design for its existing SkyShot 1600 engine to fit unmanned aircraft in the Air Force’s ...

With their capability to fly higher, farther, and more efficiently, jet engines have transformed air travel since their introduction. From its origins in the 1930s, the jet engine was a substantial ...

Because of their typical role in aerial combat, fighter jet engineering prioritizes speed and agility. To achieve this level of performance, fighter jets integrate aerodynamic form, cutting-edge ...

Kratos brings more than 25 years of experience developing and producing small, affordable engines for UAS, drones, and missile platforms. GE Aerospace adds a century of expertise in propulsion ...
