Rolls-Royce will shortly begin rig tests of a clean-sheet small gas turbine engine that has been specifically developed as part of a new turbogenerator being developed for the advanced air mobility ...

AMES, Iowa – Engineers know that gas turbine engines for aircraft and power plants are more efficient and burn less fuel when they run at temperatures high enough to melt metal. But how to raise ...

Rolls-Royce has completed the first fuel burn on a new small gas turbine engine it is developing as part of a lightweight turbogenerator for hybrid-electric aircraft applications. Performed at the ...

The history of the gas turbine can be traced back to 150 BC, when a Greek inventor, philosopher, and geometrician, Hero, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, invented a toy called the “Aeolipile.” The toy ...
