Adaptive cycle engines are specially designed to alternate between efficiency and raw power—extending an aircraft’s range ...

The F-47’s adaptive cycle engine is built to switch modes in flight, delivering long-range efficiency and Mach 2+ power without the usual tradeoffs. This video breaks down how the three-stream design, ...

The F-47 is not just a new fighter, it is powered by an adaptive cycle engine that rewrites the rules of jet propulsion. This breakdown explains how a shape-shifting engine delivers Mach 2 speed, ...

The US Air Force (USAF) has reached a significant milestone in its effort to develop a sixth-generation jet engine. The service has completed detailed design reviews of two adaptive-cycle engine ...

Although there are only a handful of fifth-generation military aircraft in operation today, the world's largest powers are already looking to develop even more potent, sixth-gen fighters. In American ...

Variable cycle engine design embodies a transformative approach in aero‐propulsion, enabling engines to adapt their thermodynamic cycle to meet diverse operational demands, from fuel efficiency to ...

The USAF increased the funding for the development of advanced engines earmarked for sixth-generation fighters, with new contracts awarded to both General Electric Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney as ...

Although reminiscent of the official F-47 renderings, the model in RTX’s video is actually based on a notional design by artist Rodrigo Avella. A new promotional video released by RTX, parent company ...
