At the heart of future rocket engines lifting off to the Moon or Mars could be a 3D printed combustion chamber. Multiple NASA centers partnered with Virgin Orbit to develop and test a uniquely ...

In collaboration with Siemens Energy, the operating limits of hydrogen combustion were systematically tested in a series of tests on the high-pressure combustion chamber test bench in order to further ...

Hydrogen offers enormous potential for climate-friendly aviation. Unlike kerosene, hydrogen combustion produces only water and heat … at least in theory. However, this fuel also has its challenges.

[Editor's note: This is part four of a five-part series.] Before you test any equipment at an existing installation, before you even perform a clean and check or other maintenance, you need to check ...

Inlet unstart is a particularly critical issue associated with scramjets. That is the upstream displacement or disgorging of the original inlet shock system. Large flow spillage can be caused by the ...

Georgia Tech researchers have created a new combustor (combustion chamber where fuel is burned to power an engine or gas turbine) designed to burn fuel in a wide range of devices with next to no ...

PITTSFIELD — A year after opening its facility in Pittsfield, Colorado-based Electro Magnetic Applications has installed an aerospace testing chamber at the Berkshire Innovation Center. The ...

Aside from a large camshaft, cubic inches, and lots of fuel, compression is the element that allows power to be formed. It’s the massive amount of squeeze being placed on the fuel and air, which in ...
