Pre-swirl systems are a critical component in modern gas turbine engines, designed to condition the cooling airflow before it reaches the turbine rotor blades. By imparting a controlled rotational ...

Reaching the ambitious targets of the Paris Agreement calls for revolutionary propulsion concepts. With the water-enhanced turbofan, MTU is working on a gas-turbine-based propulsion concept that ...

What are Ceramic Matrix Composites? Composite materials typically consist of two components: a reinforcement part to provide mechanical strength and a matrix material that holds all the components ...

Long before today’s hybrid, EVs, and other alternative fuel vehicles were pitched as alternatives to traditional internal combustion, GM spent decades experimenting with turbine-powered engines for ...

We all know how a conventional internal combustion engine works, with a piston and a crankshaft. But that’s by no means the only way to make an engine, and one of the slightly more unusual ...

Explore how combined cycle gas turbines hit 64% efficiency, capture waste heat for power, and how CCGT compares with coal and nuclear in grids ...

Subaru engineers appear to be thinking really far outside the box. The automaker recently filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization for a turbine engine-assisted extended-range ...
