Rotating detonation engines (RDEs), as opposed to oblique wave detonation engines or pulse detonation engines, use ring-shaped chambers and precisely-timed fuel injection to generate constant thrust.

Researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) have designed and tested a key ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers in China have introduced a new hypersonic engine concept by integrating a ramjet with a rotary detonation engine. A ...

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 ...

A jet engine with no moving parts. Sounds like something out of Dune. But a Baltimore start-up successfully flight-tested a scaled version to prove that the concept worked. Wave Engine Corp. released ...

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, ...
