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 ...
The race to field reusable hypersonic aircraft got a whole lot hotter last month, with GE Aerospace announcing a breakthrough in high-speed jet engine design that could potentially allow conventional ...
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 ...
A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems poised to end the internal combustion engine’s long run as the transportation motivator of choice, enterprising tinkerers continue to propose ...
