New Scientist – Reaction Engines UK is developing the Sabre hydrogen-and-air-burning engine. It is designed to reach orbit in a future satellite-launching spaceplane called Skylon, and may be used ...

EADS is hoping a newly approved joint project with Russian researchers will help pave the way to realising an air-breathing or rocket-propulsion technology that promises efficient operations from ...

The "world's most powerful rotating detonation engine" is finally here. As claimed by Chinese engineers who "allegedly" created it, the hypersonic engine can reach Mach 16. The new technology designed ...

Scientists at the forefront of hypersonic weapons research in China say they have an unprecedented power solution for aerospace planes. The “revolutionary” air-breathing engine could, in theory, lift ...

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, ...

Skoltech researchers have theoretically predicted synchronization—a kind of self-regulation—in detonation waves. The discovery could help tame this inherently chaotic process so as to stabilize ...
