Fighter jets equipped with a “miracle afterburner” could completely rewrite the rules of aerial combat. Chinese researchers are claiming to have developed a near-perfectly efficient afterburner for jet engines, promising a significant leap forward in fighter jet capabilities. If these claims hold up, aircraft equipped with this technology will gain a major advantage, not only in terms of speed but also in terms of endurance and performance under extreme conditions.

Usually, when one thinks of an airplane, a huge tubular structure with wings and a tail attached comes to mind. It’s no secret that this traditional superstructure doesn’t generate much lift, despite the number of passengers or cargo it can carry. Of course, alternative designs have been developed for these precise reasons, some of which have even reached series production.
