A turbofan engine is an engineering feat. Here's what to know about how a jet engine works, from the fan in the front to the hot inner core.

A fighter jet engine operates by intaking air through its inlets, located under the aircraft’s wings or chin. Because fighter ...

How do you measure the power of a jet engine if not in horsepower? The real metric might surprise you and it explains why ...

Jet engines that you find (most commonly) or airplanes have a particular kind of fan that helps make the whole thing work. Here's what it does.

Today's new family of GE GenX engines for Boeing's new 787and 747-8 produce upward of 70,000 pounds of thrust compared to the 5,000 pounds for the early jet power plants. Ever wonder how that ...

Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems.

Jet engines, unlike automobile engines, require several seconds to accelerate from idle to high thrust.

The speed of the air coming out of the jet engines—I will call this "thrust speed." The area of the jet thrust (that comes out of the engine).

Most of the thrust of a jet engine isn’t from pulling in a volume of air, but rather, from the combustion of the fuel.

YouTuber Matt Mikka added jet engines to his Tesla. He built the system from scratch, and it made his 0 to 60 time over a second faster.
