NASA's experimental X-43A didn't have a pilot and couldn't fly independently, but its blisteringly high speeds showed that ...
Building a jet engine yourself likely wouldn't be very easy, but the basic principle of how a jet engine works is fairly simple. Your average jet engine uses a series of fans to inhale air. That air ...
