With twin 15,000-pound Avons and a 1:1 thrust-to-weight ratio, the P.1B could go vertical at Mach 1. But just as it took off, ...

The jet engine industry was valued at $66.90 billion in 2022, and is estimated to garner $140 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2023 to ...

Sedna will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2076, giving us a rare opportunity to visit the planetoid before it drifts ...

In this work, we achieved a self-takeoff of an eagle-scale flapping-wing robot for the first time. Inspired by the takeoff process of Ospreys, we propose a bio-inspired takeoff strategy, then discuss ...

Key Points – The Soviet-era MiG-21 “Fishbed,” first introduced in 1955, became the most-produced jet aircraft in aviation ...

The experimental results showed that the robot’s spin and dive behaviors during takeoff were effectively suppressed by controlling the thrust vector of the ducted fan on the foot. The robot ...

So, the F-15 is a notably more powerful aircraft than the F-16, with thrust-to-weight ratios of 1.17:1 and 1.09:1, respectively.
