A new NASA-funded study has revealed for the first time that the airflow in supersonic combusting jet engines can be controlled by an optical sensor. The finding can lead to more efficient ...

What if the future of space travel were to look less like Space-X's rocket-based Starship and more like NASA's "Hyper-X," the hypersonic jet plane that, 20 years ago this year, flew faster than any ...

The research team studied the complex aerodynamics of the artificial body and developed an advanced control model for systems composed of several interconnected parts. The overall work on iRonCub3, ...

Doctoral student Max Chern takes a closer look at the wind tunnel setup where University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science researchers demonstrated that control of a dual-mode ...

It is easy to admire an aircraft in flight, gliding across the sky, but far harder to imagine the furnace within—jet engines, ...

The company PBS GROUP, a leading Czech manufacturer of turbine engines, auxiliary power units (APU), and aircraft environmental control systems (ECS), aims to significantly strengthen its position and ...
