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 ...

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 ...

For years, the United States has trailed behind Russia and China in hypersonic weapons. A new engine prototype by Lockheed ...

GE and Lockheed Martin plan to get around this by accelerating the missile using a rotating detonation engine, which uses a supersonic wave of detonating fuel that runs about inside an open-ended ...

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 ...

The rotary engine has been absent on the frontline for quite some time, and it's on the way back. But not with Mazda.

Engine maker GE Aerospace and defence manufacturer Lockheed Martin have teamed up to test a novel ramjet propulsion system for powering hypersonic flight. The pair say they completed a series of ...

The Hypersonic Dual-Mode Ramjet test, believed to be the first of its kind, exploited rotating detonation combustion technology. General Electric Aerospace announced a successful demonstration of ...

The ramjet uses GE Aerospace’s rotating detonation combustion system and Lockheed Martin’s tactical inlet that enables ...

I assume that if the detonation/flame front is itself rotating within the combustion chamber/channel/however one chooses to contain and direct it, then the expanding shockwave from the exhaust plume ...

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 ...

GE Aerospace lifted the curtain on its comprehensive hypersonics program at its Research Center in Niskayuna, demonstrating what is believed to be a world-first hypersonic dual-mode ramjet (DMRJ) rig ...
