Nuclear energy powers American aircraft carriers, like the Nimitz and Ford classes. But how exactly does it work, and what ...

As part of its goal to have zero-emission aircraft enter service by 2035, Airbus has announced the development of a hydrogen fuel-cell engine designed to for airplanes.

However, some researchers believe that newer, more fuel-efficient aircraft could be contributing more to global warming than older series aircraft.

Air Company and the Department of Defense have partnered to produce fuel with an experimental technology.

The aircraft requires less fuel for proper engine operation as altitude is gained—just make sure you enrich the mixture before descending for landing, or you could inadvertently fuel-starve the ...

During the decade-long Aircraft Energy Efficiency program, NASA set a goal of reducing fuel consumption by 50 percent, through initiatives that improved internal components of engines.

There has been a surge in innovation in the low-carbon aviation sector in recent months. For ZeroAvia, hydrogen is the aviation fuel of the future.

Airbus is getting behind a project to examine the potential for using hydrogen fuel cells on commercial airliners – not to power the jet engines, but to replace the Auxiliary Power Units (APUs).

Researchers are using the Stampede supercomputer to design novel, fuel-efficient, wing designs for jets, and to develop tools that can help the industry build more efficient aircraft. The ...

Two aircraft engine concepts, geared turbofan and open rotor, can enable a significant reduction to aircraft fuel consumption. With open rotor, the potential reduction is 15 per cent.
