Since the 1960s, aerospace research and development (R&D) has been on a quest to eliminate oil lubrication systems from gas turbine engines. Beginning with small solar power dynamic "engines" for ...

Rolls-Royce will shortly begin rig tests of a clean-sheet small gas turbine engine that has been specifically developed as part of a new turbogenerator being developed for the advanced air mobility ...

Rolls-Royce has completed the first fuel burn on a new small gas turbine engine it is developing as part of a lightweight turbogenerator for hybrid-electric aircraft applications. Performed at the ...

The history of the gas turbine can be traced back to 150 BC, when a Greek inventor, philosopher, and geometrician, Hero, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, invented a toy called the “Aeolipile.” The toy ...
