They're noisy, but your next missile or military vehicle might have an RDE (rotating detonation engine) powerplant in it. RDEs are more fuel-efficient, lighter, easier to maintain, and capable of ...

RDE is a propulsion system that promises higher power, greater fuel efficiency, and lower emissions than conventional rocket or jet engines. The RDE generates thrust by sustaining a circulating ...

The rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) is the new Holy Grail of the aerospace industry. The way such a technology works promises unprecedented speeds for aircraft and spacecraft, prompting ...

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 ...

Venus Aerospace's rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE). Houston, Texas-based Venus Aerospace, a hypersonics pioneer aimed at developing reusable hypersonic flight platforms, recently achieved one ...

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, ...

Pratt & Whitney will accelerate its work on rotating detonation engine (RDE) technology, as its programme to develop the advanced propulsion capability yields results. The company has completed a ...

COLORADO SPRINGS—Long-running U.S. interest in the potential application of pressure-gain combustion to high-speed propulsion is stepping up to a new level with the award of a U.S. Air Force Research ...

Pratt & Whitney is planning further development of rotating detonation engine (RDE) technology following “positive test results” from a series of ground tests. The work, which was completed with the ...

Many of you have seen the process of making this rotary valve engine with different intake and exhaust system and how I tried ...

The United States has developed and tested its own version of a potentially transformative technology that could redefine the future of high-speed warfare and is already being mastered by China. The ...
