Russian powerplant specialist United Engine has carried out initial testing of a pulse-detonation rocket motor which has potential application to orbital spaceplanes or hypersonic aircraft.
A jet engine with no moving parts. Sounds like something out of Dune. But a Baltimore start-up successfully flight-tested a scaled version to prove that the concept worked. Wave Engine Corp. released ...
The bright minds from the University of Central Florida (UCF) are on a path to revolutionize the future of air travel, and even facilitate interplanetary transportation. In the quest to find a ...
General Electric is ramping up studies into how to make production-standard pulse-detonation engines as it prepares to run the first-ever valve-controlled multi-tube PDE with a power turbine and gear ...
With oil priced at about $120 a barrel and ever-growing pressure to reduce aircraft emissions, the search for leaps in engine efficiency is renewing interest in novel approaches, such as wave rotor ...
Essentially, it's a rotating detonation engine in which the detonation wave is stabilized within a high-speed rotor. A precisely shaped flow channel within the rotor compresses the air-fuel mixture to ...
Conceptual image of an oblique detonation wave engine-powered hypersonic aircraft. (Courtesy: background image: NASA; composite image: Daniel A Rosato) Scientists in the US have produced a detonation ...
