The Victorians developed effective turbines for turning water and steam power into work, and also turbopumps for doing the opposite. During the early part of the 20th century, research was carried out into various arrangements for turbo-compression, combustion and turbine work extraction in the...

There's no doubt that the Vultee XP-54's top speed fell short of expectations during test flights and that the Northrop XP-56 Northrop was a failure aerodynamically, but I read that Vultee considered fitting the XP-54 design with a turbojet (potentially creating a lookalike of the Focke-Wulf...

ASPEN BACKGROUND In the 1950s and 1960s, many potential uses of nuclear power were explored, such as NTRs. An NTR uses a nuclear reactor to heat a working fluid, such as hydrogen, and exhaust this fluid in a nozzle for thrust. Many studies of this technology were conducted, and prototypes were...
