The compact, liquid-fuelled ramjet engine uses a novel combustion technology called rotating detonation that offers ...
Combining the technologies could improve efficiency enough to make hypersonic projectiles much more affordable.
A series of tests have demonstrated the viability of a liquid-fueled rotating detonation ramjet for hypersonic missiles, ...
Two revolutionary aerospace technologies collide as GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin team up to demonstrate a new ...
A new family of engines aims to harness the power of detonation shockwaves to create ever-faster rocket engines. One of these engines—known as a rotating detonation engine (RDE)—has shown some ...
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 ...
