3,600 seconds (1.0 lb/ (lbf⋅h); 35 km/s) [3] SABRE ( Synergetic Air Breathing Rocket Engine [4]) is a concept under development by Reaction Engines Limited for a hypersonic precooled hybrid air-breathing rocket engine. [5] [6] The engine is being designed to achieve single-stage-to-orbit capability, propelling the proposed Skylon spaceplane ...
First flight. 1950s. Primary user. United States Army. The Solar T62 Titan is an American gas turbine engine used mainly as a aircraft auxiliary power unit (APU), conventional power generator, turboprop engine for fixed-wing aircraft or turboshaft engine for helicopters. A new turbine version was developed as the Solar T66 .
The power-recovery turbine sits underneath a two-stroke diesel engine. A turbo-compound engine is a reciprocating engine that employs a turbine to recover energy from the exhaust gases. Instead of using that energy to drive a turbocharger as found in many high-power aircraft engines, the energy is instead sent to the output shaft to increase ...
The engine cycle is named after George Brayton (1830–1892), the American engineer, who developed the Brayton Ready Motor in 1872, using a piston compressor and piston expander. An engine using the cycle was originally proposed and patented by Englishman John Barber in 1791, using a reciprocating compressor and a turbine expander.
The Robinson R66 is a helicopter designed and built by Robinson Helicopter Company. It has five seats, a separate cargo compartment and is powered by a Rolls-Royce RR300 turboshaft engine. The R66 is slightly faster and smoother than the piston-powered Robinson R44 from which it is derived. The R66 received both type and production certificates ...
A propfan, also called an open rotor engine, open fan engine [1] [2] or unducted fan (as opposed to a ducted fan ), is a type of aircraft engine related in concept to both the turboprop and turbofan, but distinct from both. The design is intended to offer the speed and performance of a turbofan, with the fuel economy of a turboprop.
Produced. 1990–present [1] Number built. 68 [2] Developed from. Douglas DC-3. Douglas C-47 Skytrain. The Basler BT-67 is a utility aircraft produced by Basler Turbo Conversions of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It is a remanufactured and modified Douglas C-47 Skytrain / Douglas DC-3; the modifications are designed to significantly extend the DC-3's ...
