Russian powerplant specialist United Engine has carried out initial testing of a pulse-detonation rocket motor which has potential application to orbital spaceplanes or hypersonic aircraft.
GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess ...
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) is leading Japanese aerospace industry efforts in developing pulse-detonation engines (PDEs) for several new applications, including small cruise missiles and ...
Pulse detonation technology being pursued by General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce offers engine-makers the potential for improving gas turbine specific fuel consumption by double digits ...
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 ...
Such an engine uses a series of controlled explosions that travel around a circular channel at its base. The result is a massive amount of thrust coming from a much smaller engine using significantly ...
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 ...
General Electric is ramping up studies into how to make production-standard pulse-detonation engines as it prepares to run the first-ever valve-controlled multi-tube PDE with a power turbine and gear ...
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.
