It's the same reason jet engines can go further than rockets on the same weight of fuel: The jet is taking half its "fuel" from the surrounding air. And just like with jets and rockets, the reason not all batte
The two twin-turbo V6 engines provide ample thrust for their price classes, while the 437-horsepower i-Force Max twin-turbo V6 hybrid offers excellent low-end power with its electric assist and plenty of go on the open road. I think the Tundra’s 10-speed automatic transmission is one of...
This first project is a part of a further open turbo-machine system based in a pending patent that contains not only open turbo-machines but also close turbo-machines ( jet engines, gas turbine etc etc) and as the picture show, we have developed a 2 stage VAWT where the top stage spins...

These planes have the engines strapped to their backside. Some people rave about them, as the idea (back in the days of really noisy engines) was that its quieter for passengers in the expensive seats at the front. Very true, but if you're late at check in you'll get the window ...

Headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, it is the largest low-cost airline in the United States. US Airways has a fleet of 360 mainline jet aircraft and 352 "express" (regional jet and turbo-prop) aircraft connecting 240 destinations in North America, Central America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Eur...
This appreciation of the power of communication meant that the Wehrmacht was far better integrated as far as its different services went. The Luftwaffe was designed around a vision of it being an extension of the German Heer (army), able to coordinate its attacks with panzers columns. The panz...
Warbirds are known to be among the fastest propeller-driven planes ever built. There are several different types of warbirds such as the Fighter, Trainer, Bomber, Jet, Transports, Utility, etc. These divisions of warbirds can then be broken down by manufacturer. Some examples of different manufa...
in-line aero engines. They also featured refinements such as retractable undercarriages, fully enclosed cockpits and low drag, all metal wings (all introduced on civil airliners years before, but slow to be adopted by the military who favoured the simplicity and manoeuvrability of the biplane)...
