In many aircraft, the centrepiece is a gas turbine that generates the thrust. A fan, which looks like an oversized paddle wheel, sucks air into the engine at the front end. Some of it is compressed ...

After looking into Einstein's forecast, China developed the first air-powered engine. This engine uses compressed air as its ...

Now Pratt & Whitney thinks it may have taken the first steps along that path with the Hydrogen Steam-Injected, Intercooled ...

Originally, he was trying for a compressed air quadcopter. He’d already worked with an air turbine, but putting on a vehicle that can lift itself into the air turns out to have a lot of hidden ...

Just like any other internal combustion engine, air is compressed ... and the expanding exhaust drives a turbine that in turn drives the compressor since both are attached to the same shaft.

The APU also provides compressed air to power a third turbine, the main engine’s pneumatic starter motor. That’s the type that got incorporated into the dragster. With sufficient air supply ...

A turbo or turbocharger is a forced-induction device that utilizes exhaust gasses to spin a turbine, which feeds compressed air into the engine. It typically sucks air at ambient temperature ...
