It's important to keep in mind that the combustion process occurs in a very brief period of time. Due to a variety of conditions that include mixture density, homogeneity, temperature, fuel ...

The film discusses various types of engines that utilize heat energy for operation. It explains steam engines, which are reciprocating external combustion engines, and compares them to internal ...

Variable cycle engine design embodies a transformative approach in aero‐propulsion, enabling engines to adapt their thermodynamic cycle to meet diverse operational demands, from fuel efficiency to ...

Years ago, the choice was clear: When it came to 2 stroke vs 4 stroke outboard motors, 2 stroke won every time. Two stroke motors offered a better power-to-weight ratio, were cheaper to manufacture, ...

If you’re shopping for a new fishing boat or an outboard motor to power it, one of the decisions you’ll have to make is between a 2 stroke vs 4 stroke engine. Unless you’re going electric, this choice ...

The X-Engine technology used in the XTS-210 is a direct drive rotary approach that can be viewed as an "inverted" Wankel engine. It has a trochoidal rotor with a three-lobed housing, but it utilizes a ...

Conventional wisdom suggests that our faithful internal combustion (IC) engines are heading the way of the buggy whip. The lithium-ion battery has arrived, emissions standards are tightening, and ...

Ever since 2016, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) has been looking for a new engine to slap into its fifth-generation F-35 fighter plane. The engine didn’t get to be detailed until 2019, and testing didn’t ...

What if the engine of the future wasn’t just a dream, but a reality? Imagine a power source that combines the raw, exhilarating performance of a two-stroke engine with innovative efficiency, ...

Cost planning for newer engine types can be complicated by their lack of global fleet hours and reliability data. Credit: Laure Lemeille/AFI KLM E&M Life-cycle cost management of widebody engines may ...

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is one of the few fifth-generation military aircraft currently in operation. Compared with all the others still flying in the world, it’s a true junior, having ...
