After a half century of R&D, the turbine jet engine is now more powerful, efficient, and relatively quiet. Development has also pushed the envelope in one other dimension: jet engines are getting ...

We love to highlight great engineering student projects at Hackaday. We also love environment-sensing microcontrollers, 3D printing, and jet engines. The X-Plorer 1 by JetX Engineering checks all the ...

In this clip I fire up my big RC turbine jet right outside the workshop. You can see the full startup sequence as I bring the engine to life and wait for the idle to come up while my friends look on.

[InterlinkKnight]’s jet engine model is a delight to behold and to puzzle out. Many of us have been there before. We know how to build something, we know it’s not the most up-to-date approach, but we ...

I remember my Dad bought me an RC plane for my birthday one year. It was made of foam and plastic, was battery-powered, and had a little red propeller on it. I think my longest flight ever covered a ...

General Electric this week revealed that it has completed a multi-year project to print a working jet engine. The engine, small enough to fit in a backpack, was built by a team of technicians, ...
