The image above was taken during a series of tests conducted recently at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, at the Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB), in California. Engineers intentionally allowed a jet engine to suck in water from a special platform, in order to test new flight safety technologies.

General Electric engineers decided to start using three-dimensional printers for constructing complex jet engine components, such as for example fuel injectors. They say that the move will allow them to construct more solid, less expensive, less-work intensive components.
The company says that it currently takes en... |

An expert at the Stanford University says that using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to increase the efficiency of jet engines, largely by reducing the times that are needed to collect valuable measurements on the jet flow using conventional methods. Stanford PhD student in mechanical engineering L... |

This is one of those instances in which the word “car” is being used in its loosest form. The only connections between the Bloodhound SSC and your average minivan is that they both have four wheels and a body. But the similarities stop here, and the differences begin. Built specifically to beat the existi... |

Measuring noise levels and composition right before a volcano erupts is a very tricky and risky business, mostly because the scientists have to work on the slopes of the mountain themselves, as they cannot leave the equipment behind, and then recover it later. The reason for that is pretty obvious – the sound r... |

The research conducted at Purdue University has resulted in the creation of tiny wireless sensors which can detect critical bearings that are about to fail. The device which has to endure the harsh temperature conditions inside the jet engine, are the exemplary result of an emerging technology called "micro electrome... |
