GE and Lockheed Martin plan to get around this by accelerating the missile using a rotating detonation engine, which uses a supersonic wave of detonating fuel that runs about inside an open-ended ...

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 ...

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

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) ...

For years, the United States has trailed behind Russia and China in hypersonic weapons. A new engine prototype by Lockheed ...

Engine maker GE Aerospace and defence manufacturer Lockheed Martin have teamed up to test a novel ramjet propulsion system for powering hypersonic flight. The pair say they completed a series of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
