Researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) have designed and tested a key ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers in China have introduced a new hypersonic engine concept by integrating a ramjet with a rotary detonation engine. A ...

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, ...

Chinese scientists have once again innovated a new technology—and not just any technology, but an extraordinary new engine that could improve rotating detonation engines. It could have profound ...

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 ...

Detonation wave propulsion harnesses the rapid, self-sustaining shock‐driven combustion of fuel–oxidiser mixtures to achieve pressure gain and significantly higher energy release rates than ...
