Explore the breakthrough in rotating detonation engines with advanced manufacturing. Discover how they promise higher ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
