Researchers in China have introduced a new hypersonic engine concept by integrating a ramjet with a rotary detonation engine. A team at Tsinghua University in Beijing created a new design known as the ...

GE and Lockheed Martin have demonstrated a new rotating detonation engine ramjet design in a series of tests that show significant potential for efficiency gains. If developed into a full missile ...

Pratt & Whitney has announced the successful testing of a rotating detonation engine (RDE) — a new type of jet propulsion ...

For years, the United States has trailed behind Russia and China in hypersonic weapons. A new engine prototype by Lockheed Martin and General Electric could help it catch up.

Rotating Detonation Engines (RDE) have been flown by Venus Aerospace. They use continuous detonation waves for propulsion and provide 15% efficiency gains (in specific impulse or fuel consumption) ...

Detonation is a supersonic combustion wave, characterized by a shock wave driven by the energy release from closely coupled chemical reactions. It is a typical form of pressure gain combustion, ...

There have been published papers by the Air Force Research Lab and NASA on rotating detonation engines having 10% or more efficiency gains. A rotating detonation engine (RDE) uses a form of pressure ...

A new type of rocket engine, one that could power a plane from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours, has eluded scientists for decades. Houston's Venus Aerospace says it recently solved the puzzle.

IAN Alpha Fund on Wednesday said it has invested Rs 25 crore in D-Propulse Aerospace. The firm plans to use the seed capital ...

A US-based propulsion company has successfully launched and flown a new rocket powered by a unique rotating detonation engine. Although relatively small by rocket standards, the test could pave the ...

I assume that if the detonation/flame front is itself rotating within the combustion chamber/channel/however one chooses to contain and direct it, then the expanding shockwave from the exhaust plume ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is researching the possibility of using Rotating Detonation Engines (RDEs) to reduce fuel consumption in gas-turbine engines, says Kazhikathra Kailasanath, who ...
