Thrust vectoring—essentially redirecting the plane’s exhaust flow—allows modern fighters to quickly change direction, giving them an edge in close combat. Thrust vectoring nozzles are one of the most ...

Producers of military jet engines are rolling out new lines of small turbofans, eyeing an expected boom in demand for uncrewed fighter aircraft. US propulsion suppliers Pratt & Whitney (P&W), GE ...

Thrust-vectoring makes impossible maneuvers possible. The huge, powerful jets can perform extremely tight turns that ...

The global aviation industry is soaring to new heights lately, driven by rising aircraft deliveries, expanding airline fleets, and increasing demand for fuel-efficient, high-performance jet engines.

Runways are undesirable locations for military aircraft. Being tied to miles of concrete gives jet aircraft a built-in vulnerability as well as restricting their flexibility. At sea, it is extremely ...

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

Jet engines might soon face real competition from plasma-powered engines. Jet engines have powered planes for more than 70 years using the same basic formula: squeeze in air, mix it with fuel, ignite, ...

The refinement of the fighter jet seems to have happened at a blistering pace. The world's first operative fighter jet was Germany's Messerschmitt Me 262, which took to the skies during the latter ...
