Rolls-Royce is developing a hybrid jet engine designed to reduce flight emissions by roughly 30%, a target that places the British manufacturer squarely in a high-stakes race among engine makers to ...
Jet engines are built to terrifyingly tight tolerances, yet the latest simulations on the world’s first exascale supercomputer suggest their biggest weakness may be measured in micrometers.
You could call it a temple of thrust -- a building designed to handle the massive thrust these engines can kick up. Walls 3 feet thick and giant doors weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds enclose ...
