Combining the technologies could improve efficiency enough to make hypersonic projectiles much more affordable.

A Florida team working with the US Air Force claims that it's built and tested an experimental model of a rotating detonation rocket engine, which uses spinning explosions inside a ring channel to ...

Two revolutionary aerospace technologies collide as GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin team up to demonstrate a new ...

On January 14, GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin revealed the results of a new ...

The compact, liquid-fuelled ramjet engine uses a novel combustion technology called rotating detonation that offers ...

A new rotating detonation engine could revolutionize rocket launches—if it can be made stable enough. That’s a big “if,” and one that researchers are hoping to explore using a new mathematical model ...

The Rotating Detonation Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney has no moving parts, which reduces complexity and costs, and could help enable high-speed, long-range flight with increased efficiency ...

Yesterday, Vladimir Putin presented his country with a belated Christmas present: the Avangard hypersonic missile. According to Russian media, it's capable of reaching Mach 20. And if its ability to ...

Disk rotating detonation engines could provide engines that are 10% more efficient, which could enable hypersonic planes. The USA, China, and Russia will be ramping up hypersonic weapon and hypersonic ...

Liquid-fuelled rocket engine design has largely followed a simple template since the development of the German V-2 rocket in the middle of World War 2. Propellant and oxidizer are mixed in a ...

From a thermodynamic point of view, detonations are more efficient than the more commonly known deflagration (classic combustion). While classic combustion in rocket engines takes place at constant ...
