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 ...

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 ...

The rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) is the new Holy Grail of the aerospace industry. The way such a technology works promises unprecedented speeds for aircraft and spacecraft, prompting ...

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 ...

If we are to truly become a solar system-wide civilization, we really need to rethink the means of propulsion that are currently taking us off our own planet. After all, current rocket engines are ...

A US-based propulsion company, Venus Aerospace, said Wednesday it had completed a short flight test of its rotating detonation rocket engine at Spaceport America in New Mexico. The company's chief ...

The new propulsion system is powered by supersonic technology and can be used for spacecraft journeying from the Moon to Mars. Reading time 2 minutes NASA just put its new propulsion system to the ...

Venus Aerospace breaks ground at Houston Spaceport as the city backs a taxiway to link Ellington and expand aerospace jobs.

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 ...

ISTR that the SR-71 was about a foot longer at speed than at rest. They definitely leaked fuel on the ground. And I don't have the unclassified POH for it handy, but ISTR that the SR-71 did the 'dipsy ...
