In the competitive landscape of narrowbody aviation, the Boeing 737 MAX and the Airbus A320neo are often viewed as total ...

Every fleet strives to achieve two things when it comes to engines. The first is to maintain efficiency in order to reduce operating and service costs. The other is to ensure the longest possible ...

As automakers search for new means of minimizing the fleet consumption of their vehicles, they have come across the concept of intelligent thermal management as a means of boosting engine efficiency.

In the accelerating quest for greater fuel efficiency, boosting engines--with turbos or superchargers--is one way to pull more power out of a given displacement. Traditionally, superchargers have been ...

As downsizing has emerged as one of the best ways to meet tightening emissions rules, Ford has dived in headlong with its range of EcoBoost engines. The small turbo engines feature in everything from ...

Pratt & Whitney thinks the aerospace industry might need a bit more time to achieve a broad goal of squeezing at least 20% more efficiency out of the next generation of narrowbody aircraft engines.

One famous limit of thermodynamics is that heat engines, like steam engines and internal combustion engines, must be less efficient than a Carnot heat engine (a heat engine cycle designed by French ...
