Nacelle Chines or Strakes are aerodynamic devices on aircraft engines that regulate airflow, preventing stall and increasing lift. They are found on nearly all jet airliners, including Airbus and ...

A particular design challenge arises in developing the narrow pylon connecting an engine nacelle to the main aircraft. A large quantity of connecting lines need to fit in this space, including ...

A lot of talk this morning about whether Malaysia Air Flight 370’s aircraft engine monitoring data indicate that the aircraft continued to fly for hours after its transponder stopped transmitting.

It’s very unlikely though that you’ll have gone as far as [Steve Jones] though, who took an outer engine nacelle from a retired ex-RAF VC-10 airliner and converted it into a camper that is ...

Yet on a clear day, the western Cascades are our own personal snow-capped end of the world, even if we’d be hard-pressed to name more than one or two. It’s easy to take such a stunning view ...

When it's a ramjet that uses rotating detonation technology to propel aircraft at hypersonic speeds. A case in point is Venus Aerospace's new Venus Detonation Ramjet 2000 lb Thrust Engine (VDR2).

Reports of the death of the internal combustion engine have been greatly exaggerated. In the wake of stalled consumer demand and stubbornly high costs, automakers around the world are furiously ...

With glacier-clad peaks rising almost vertically from thickly forested valleys, the North Cascades are often called the American Alps. The national park forms one unit of the North Cascades ...

As the world’s governments continue to crack down on fuel economy and emissions regulations, small displacement turbocharged engines have started to become more commonplace. Smaller displacement ...

Why are aircraft engines failing with such seeming regularity? It is a question air passengers are rightly asking these days as inflight engine shutdowns and aircraft groundings due to mechanical ...
