This is why interest in detonation engines for both gas turbines in the energy sector and for rocket propulsion applications has increased so significantly in recent years. Particularly promising is ...

Pratt & Whitney has announced the successful testing of a rotating detonation engine (RDE) — a new type of jet propulsion system that could enable high-supersonic, long-range missile for the US ...

However, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has recently completed a successful test of a different type of rocket, known as a rotating detonation engine. The engine relies on an ...

NASA’s latest engine prototype defies traditional rocket design by relying on continuous detonations to propel spacecraft. Known as a rotating detonation engine (RDE), this technology dramatically ...

This is a journey towards a very interesting engine design, known as the rotating detonation engine. This will be very interesting to see, if he can get it to work. Supersonic exhaust plume with ...

COLORADO SPRINGS–Rotating detonation engines have huge potential for realizing efficient high-speed flight, but they are proving fiendishly difficult to get right. In the five short years since ...

Hypersonic travel, defined as speeds exceeding Mach 5, has tremendous potential to reshape global mobility and logistics.

More compact and agile hypersonic rocket engine propulsion system, supported by a NASA SBIR, will be demonstrated in the ...

Venus Aerospace, the startup building an advanced engine system for hypersonic flight, successfully completed a ...

The drone is able to reach these milestones thanks to a new “rotating detonation rocket engine” or RDRE attached to it. The hope is to one day attach these engines to commercial jets ...

Rotating Detonation Engines First developed in the 1950s at the University of Michigan, these rocket engines use powerful and chaotic detonations, self-propagating thanks to hypersonic shockwaves ...

Categories include pulse detonation engines, rotating detonation engines and standing wave, or oblique wave detonation engines (OWDEs), and while these are still all at experimental stages ...
