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 ...

pete-y JANUARY 31, 2023 05:04 AM Doesn't my car run on a rotating detonation engine. Great idea but needs a better name. No. Reciprocating combustion engine in your car. PBZ January 31, 2023 08:04 AM ...

Rotating Detonation Engines, or RDEs, are one possible way to meet that need. Specifically, DARPA says the weapon powered by these engines will be used for “4th generation fighters” like the ...

NASA’s latest breakthrough, the Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE), could revolutionize space travel with up to 5% greater fuel efficiency—an enormous leap for rocket technology. This video explores how ...

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, however, did successfully test its own rotation detonation engine in space in 2021, with further experiments in 2024. That doesn't perturb Venus, though.

Simulations have shown that rotating detonation engines could increase fuel efficiency by 25%. NASA's 2022 test saw the prototype engine fire for almost one minute, producing 4,000 pounds-force ...

A startup high-speed flight company from Houston, Texas, has successfully tested its Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) ultimately aimed at allowing travel at four to six times the speed of ...

If it can identify a range for supersonic flight, it may attach its existing rotating detonation engine to the 8-foot drone. The current engine, which has a firing ring 4 inches in diameter ...

This demonstrates the throttling capability of rotating detonation engines. Due to the capacitive cooling, the test times are currently limited to under 1.5 seconds. However, with a detonation speed ...

Venus Aerospace's rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) undergoes testing. (Image credit: Venus Aerospace) Founded in 2020, Venus Aerospace is a dynamic, forward-thinking startup that designs ...

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 ...

Specifically, rotating detonation rocket engines (RDREs) use detonation as the primary means of energy conversion, producing more useful available work compared to equivalent deflagration-based ...
