Engineers at General Electric have created a tiny jet engine using 3-D printing techniques that they say could rewrite the rules for how components inside commercial turbine engines are produced. The mini jet engine project was completed at GE Aviation’s Additive Development Center outside Cincinnati. The lab focuses on developing additive manufacturing techniques that can […]

Three men riding in a boat during a fishing competition in Argentina came within just a few feet of the landing gear of an airplane flying overhead during a startling stunt caught on video by one of the boaters. Though it’s hard to see in the shaky video, the aerobatic airplane is a Rans S-9, […]

NASA engineers successfully tested the Greased Lightning GL-10, a battery-powered, 10-rotor remotely piloted aircraft that can take off and land like a helicopter and then transition to conventional flight in mid air. The craft was a little unsteady as it whirred to life and lifted off the ground, but it managed to rise into a […]

In the “we’ll believe it when we see it” department, a single-engine jet is being developed in Poland that is reminiscent of some single-engine jet programs that have been done here in the United States in recent years. Named the Flaris LAR 01, the jet has completed its initial taxi tests at the airport in […]

Flight Resource LLC has achieved an STC to add a reversible MT propeller to the Aviat Husky. The new prop installation allows the Husky, whether equipped with skis, wheels or floats, much greater maneuverability as it can move in reverse. The reverse taxi is particularly useful for water operations where the maneuverability is affected by […]
