The rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) examined in this study was constructed following the design guidelines of ...

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 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 ...

Venus Aerospace conducted its first powered flight last month, reaching Mach 0.9 with a drone. The 8-foot-long vehicle was dropped from an Aero L-29 Delfín aircraft at 12,000 feet and flew under the ...

The aerospace industry is on the verge of being completely transformed. Partly responsible for that are the many startups working on technologies so out of this world that they might completely ...

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 ...

When is an empty tube not an empty tube? When it's a ramjet that uses rotating detonation technology to propel aircraft at hypersonic speeds. A case in point is Venus Aerospace's new Venus Detonation ...

Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic has completed a successful series of hot-fire tests of its rotating detonation rocket engine prototype Chakram, marking a key milestone toward bringing the experimental ...

NASA has contracted Momentus to use its Vigoride orbital service vehicle as a testbed to demonstrate a rotating detonation rocket engine in space in 2026. The rotating detonation rocket engine is ...

DARPA has contracted Raytheon to develop a practical version of a revolutionary air-breathing rotating detonation engine called Gambit, which would have no moving parts and could lead to lighter ...
