On paper, modern engines should have buried their predecessors long ago. Computer-controlled fuel injection, turbocharging ...

ATLANTA — The future of space travel just got a boost thanks to one Georgia Tech undergraduate student. Dalton Luedke is a third-year aerospace engineering student at Tech, and also part of the NASA ...

DAYTON, Ohio—The Air Force is working on one engine design to power the service’s highly secret new fighter jet—no matter which company builds the plane. The future engine, called Next Generation ...

Automobile engine designs with W-configurations and double-digit cylinder-counts rank among the most complicated car engines ever made. While other automakers have more-or-less accomplished combining ...

We all know how a conventional internal combustion engine works, with a piston and a crankshaft. But that’s by no means the only way to make an engine, and one of the slightly more unusual ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Interestingly, the rocket engine was created entirely by an advanced artificial intelligence system. LEAP 71’s “Noyron,” a ...

Rotary engines (also known as Wankel engines and Wankel rotary engines) are quite different from piston or "reciprocating" engines. One of the distinguishing features is that they don't need valves to ...

Intake, compression, power, then exhaust. Every 4-stroke engine ever made – about 80% of all engines currently in existence – function on this principle – even rotary engines. But now, Porsche has ...

While there have been many unusual engine designs over the years, there haven't been many advancements involving the inner workings of the piston engine, except for higher-quality components, since ...

For more than 100 years, the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the mechanism of choice for vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Across all configurations, the principle is the same: a mix of fuel ...

Every so often, an engine comes along that doesn’t just raise the bar but resets what enthusiasts expect from performance ...
