Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems. These thrust ...

The US Air Force (USAF) has successfully tested a new aerial refuelling technique known as reverse flow, in which a transport aircraft transfers jet fuel to a tanker. The demonstration, which took ...

It wasn’t that long ago a 2.7L V-6 with a compacted-graphite-iron (CGI) block, twin turbos, reverse-flow cooling, split-mains, variable-displacement oil pump, deep-sump oil pan and direct-injection ...

Flow reversal in piping systems can degrade equipment performance and cause significant water hammer, potentially resulting in catastrophic failure. Power plant condenser cooling water systems—or ...
