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

Researchers in China have introduced a new hypersonic engine concept by integrating a ramjet with a rotary detonation engine. A team at Tsinghua University in Beijing created a new design known as the ...

The "world's most powerful rotating detonation engine" is finally here. As claimed by Chinese engineers who "allegedly" created it, the hypersonic engine can reach Mach 16. The new technology designed ...

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, ...

There have been published papers by the Air Force Research Lab and NASA on rotating detonation engines having 10% or more efficiency gains. A rotating detonation engine (RDE) uses a form of pressure ...
