Rolls-Royce's Trent 900 didn't force an A380 redesign; it defined it. See how that legacy is shaping the future of cleaner flight.

The primary driver of aircraft efficiency today is the engines. While advances in aerodynamics and materials do cut down on fuel burn as well, the engine is the main determinant as to how much fuel an ...

The race to bring hypersonic flight into the real world just took a leap forward with Venus Aerospace's successful test of a revolutionary engine. The Houston-based startup has developed a compact ...

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 ...

From the 1970s through the 1990s, tri-jets were a common sight in our skies. Aircraft with three jet engines were capable of transoceanic flights and more fuel-efficient than four-engine aircraft like ...

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 ...

Perhaps not as visible as their counterparts doing business in the automotive industry, aviation startups are just as numerous. Some of them are proposing outlandish ideas that will probably never ...

Airbus is teasing technologies that could enable its next-generation single-aisle jet, including innovative engine and wing designs aimed at boosting efficiency. The Toulouse-based airframer provided ...
