The US Air Force has released an image of Senior Airman Daniel San Miguel supervising tests of General Electric’s F110-GE-129 engine.

Misawa Air Base, in Japan, is where the tests took place, with the F110-GE-129 engine boasting 29,000 pounds of force at its peak output.

Obviously, the engines go through many rigorous tests at peak output before they are approved to be used in ultra fast fighter jets like the F-16.

In the picture above, the F110-GE-129 engine is in its afterburner phase, a really neat sneak peek into one of the activities members of the US Air Force take part in on a regular basis.

China’s World-First Plant Turns 5.56 Million Tons of Mine Waste Into Iron Every Year

China has started operating a groundbreaking industrial facility that could change how the world looks at mining waste. The plant in Anshan, Liaoning province, can process 5.56 million metric tons of difficult iron ore and mine tailings every year. Turning Mining Waste Into a Resource Mining produces huge amounts of leftover material after valuable minerals are separated from rock. Much of t

Inconel vs Titanium: Strength, Heat Resistance & Cost Compared

The Inconel vs titanium decision comes down to the part’s hardest requirement. Inconel protects strength in extreme heat and aggressive process conditions. Titanium carries structural loads at far less weight, with excellent corrosion resistance. Engineers and buyers should compare specific grades, product forms, heat treatments, and design allowables — not two broad material families. This gui
