There have been published papers by the Air Force Research Lab and NASA on rotating detonation engines having 10% or more efficiency gains. A rotating detonation engine (RDE) uses a form of pressure ...

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 ...

GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess ...

Humans have achieved groundbreaking feats in space exploration, reaching distant stretches of space with missions like Voyager 1. However, none of this would have been possible without rockets.

NASA’s latest engine prototype defies traditional rocket design by relying on continuous detonations to propel spacecraft. Known as a rotating detonation engine (RDE), this technology dramatically ...

The Earth is much larger than most people realize. You need to use engines if you want to efficiently navigate large sections of the planet. Everything from cars to planes relies on engines, but they ...

A new type of rocket engine, one that could power a plane from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours, has eluded scientists for decades. Houston’s Venus Aerospace says it recently solved the puzzle.
