ExploreAir Force picks GE as one of five for $975M jet engine prototype work GE ... with the Air Force across three different adaptive cycle engine programs,” David Tweedie, GE Edison Works ...

The USAF initiated the first project in 2007 with the goal of developing an efficient adaptive cycle or variable cycle engine for next-generation jet aircraft such as fighters and bombers.

“This is the culmination of more than a decade of methodical risk reduction and testing GE has completed with the Air Force across three different adaptive cycle engine programs,” David ...

Electric motors are finally getting good enough in performance to capture efficiency gains from having a second turbine drive an adaptive cycle jet engine. This new jet engine will enable commercial ...

Under AETP, the USAF in 2016 began funding development of a new F-35 engine, centred on an adaptive-cycle design ... advanced systems were added to the jet over subsequent years, power ...

like a jet fighter in combat—you want a lower bypass ratio, even though it comes at a cost in fuel efficiency. Wikimedia Commons The premise with the adaptive cycle engine is that you can have ...

The engine is called XA100, and it’s being put together by GE Edison Works. It’s of the adaptive cycle kind, meaning it has a high-thrust mode for maximum power and a high-efficiency mode for ...

Unsurprisingly, supersonic jet fighters tend to have low-bypass turbofans, though that comes at cost to their range and endurance. Adaptive cycle (or combined cycle) engines developed for the AETP ...

The United States Air Force (USAF) has announced a $7 billion cash injection for its prototype next-generation jet engine ...

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 ...

In the near-ish future, Brooke intends to build an experimental airframe powered by four Astro Mechanica turboelectric adaptive jet engines and two GE CT7 engines and flying non-stop-supersonic ...

Fighter engines are incredibly complex machines designed and fielded with indelible traits and functions that are foundational to a jet’s performance ... winner of the adaptive engine transition ...
