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.

The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Scaled Composites plan to conduct around late September what is described as the first-ever flight of a pulse detonation engine (PDE)-powered aircraft.

An international team of engineers that includes combustion experts from the University of Sydney's School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering are working on a revolutionary new ...

At the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, scientists are studying the complex physics of rotating detonation engines which offer the potential for high dollar savings by way of reduced fuel consumption ...

The U.S. Navy finds gas-turbine engines attractive because they scale nicely to large powers, are relatively small and self-contained, and are relatively easy to maintain. The gas-turbine engines the ...

Engineers at the University of Washington are working on a new type of rocket engine that holds the promise of being lighter, more efficient, and simpler to make than conventional liquid-fuel rockets.

Venus Aerospace has not publicly released detailed specific impulse (ISP) data for their Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) or the VDR2 (a rocket-based combined cycle engine integrating RDRE ...

WASHINGTON--With its strong dependence on gas-turbine engines for propulsion, the U.S. Navy is always looking for ways to improve the fuel consumption of these engines. At the Naval Research ...
