Hydrogen-powered planes are set to take wing around the world in the future. To make this possible, engineers have to develop the jet engines that will power them. Experiments by researchers are now ...

Thrust vectoring is the technology that allows an aircraft to manipulate the direction of its engine's exhaust rather than just pointing it straight backward. By using movable nozzles to redirect ...

University of Cincinnati doctoral student adjusts a jet engine mounted to the floor of an anechoic chamber to study jet noise. Jet engines can make a symphony of sound from rumbles and roars to ...

Fluidic thrust vectoring control (FTVC) represents a paradigm shift in the management of exhaust flow direction within jet and rocket nozzles. By injecting secondary fluid streams or manipulating ...

Rim-driven thrusters turn the normal propeller-motor arrangement inside out; rather than mounting the motor at the center of the propeller, they use a large hollow motor, with the blades attached to ...
