A touchy subject in aviation circles is the effect of jet engine noise on human nerves and bodies. Some of the airmen hate to mention it; they fear that people who live near jet bases will blame all ...
Companies are converting aircraft engines to land-based natural gas turbines for power generation in the AI boom.
While it's fairly common knowledge to enthusiasts that the first jet fighter was the speedy Messerschmitt Me 262, introduced in 1944, the invention of the turbine jet itself may not be as widely known ...
The pause before takeoff is not hesitation, but a critical moment of engine verification and thrust stabilization.
