RTX and Pratt & Whitney developed a rotating detonation engine at scale, with the help of additive manufacturing, and tested ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers in Purdue University’s College of Engineering are testing a patented Tesla valve-inspired injection manifold design that could improve the performance of rotating ...

Detonation is a supersonic combustion wave, characterized by a shock wave driven by the energy release from closely coupled ...

Pratt & Whitney is planning further development of rotating detonation engine (RDE) technology following “positive test results” from a series of ground tests. The work, which was completed with the ...

Engines that convert chemical energy from fuel into kinetic energy via explosive detonation, rather than slower deflagration combustion as seen in typical internal combustion engines. Categories ...

Venus Aerospace's rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE). Houston, Texas-based Venus Aerospace, a hypersonics pioneer aimed at developing reusable hypersonic flight platforms, recently achieved one ...

A startup high-speed flight company from Houston, Texas, has successfully tested its Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) ultimately aimed at allowing travel at four to six times the speed of ...

COLORADO SPRINGS—Long-running U.S. interest in the potential application of pressure-gain combustion to high-speed propulsion is stepping up to a new level with the award of a U.S. Air Force Research ...
