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 ...

It’s called a “Ram Rotor Detonation Engine” (RRDE). This hybrid engin fuses elements of both ramjet and pulse detonation engines (PDEs). Conventional combustion engines use flame propagation ...

This provided some repeatable control of the pulse rate. This is a journey towards a very interesting engine design, known as the rotating detonation engine. This will be very interesting to see ...

His vision was for these Orion-type spacecraft, powered by nuclear pulse detonation engines, to take American astronauts to Mars by the 1960s, Saturn by the 1970s, and perhaps even nearby stars ...
