Two revolutionary aerospace technologies collide as GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin team up to demonstrate a new ...
The compact, liquid-fuelled ramjet engine uses a novel combustion technology called rotating detonation that offers ...
Combining the technologies could improve efficiency enough to make hypersonic projectiles much more affordable.
A series of tests have demonstrated the viability of a liquid-fueled rotating detonation ramjet for hypersonic missiles, ...
Craig Nordeen (Air Force Research Lab, Pratt & Whitney) gives a lesson from three years ago on detonation engines. He describes the history and how they work and why they are more efficient. The work ...
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 ...
The Rotating Detonation Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney has no moving parts, which reduces complexity and costs, and could help enable high-speed, long-range flight with increased efficiency ...
