Aircraft owners and pilots often bemoan the lack of new technology in aircraft engines and complain—accurately—that most airplane engines are basically 1960s tech. But as Paul Bertorelli points out in this video, it’s not for lack of trying. And it’s not necessarily the new engine itself that fails to get traction, but the company’s support—or lack thereof.
Why New Aircraft Engine Ideas Rarely Succeed
Key Takeaways:
- Aircraft engines are often criticized for using outdated 1960s technology.
- The absence of modern aircraft engines is not due to a lack of development efforts.
- New engine technologies primarily fail to gain traction because of inadequate company support, rather than the engines themselves.
