Lockheed Martin and Venus Aerospace have formed a joint agreement to adapt Rotating Detonation ...

The rotating detonation engine could transform the future of propulsion, whether in the air or in space. Unlike conventional rocket engines, this technology uses a continuous shock wave that rotates ...

GE Aerospace has shown a bew architecture with Rotating Detonation Combustion (RDC) could power super-efficient hypersonic vehicles with longer range that will go faster than MACH 5 (over 4,000 MPH).

They're noisy, but your next missile or military vehicle might have an RDE (rotating detonation engine) powerplant in it. RDEs are more fuel-efficient, lighter, easier to maintain, and capable of ...

The world of hypersonics is perhaps just as captivating to some people as say space exploration is to others. After all, it's all about going really, really fast through Earth's atmosphere, many times ...

Lockheed Martin and Venus Aerospace team up to test RDRE propulsion for long-range missiles, aiming for higher speed, range ...

Rotating detonation engines In 2020, we saw the first of an "impossible" new breed of rotating detonation engines (RDEs) fire up on a test bench. These machines leave the slow, controllable world of ...

Venus Aerospace conducted its first powered flight last month, reaching Mach 0.9 with a drone. The 8-foot-long vehicle was dropped from an Aero L-29 Delfín aircraft at 12,000 feet and flew under the ...

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 ...

Pratt & Whitney will accelerate its work on rotating detonation engine (RDE) technology, as its programme to develop the advanced propulsion capability yields results. The company has completed a ...

Astron aerospace has shown a partial prototype of a new rotary combustion engine it claims runs at an extraordinary 60% thermal efficiency, burning totally clean with zero NOx emissions and nothing ...
