Tests of an advanced pulse detonation engine (PDE) design are coming closer than ever to proving the viability of the concept. Potential applications range from supersonic unmanned combat air vehicles ...

Over the years [Integza] has blown up or melted many types of jet engine, including the humble pulsejet. Earlier improvements revolved around pumping in more fuel, or forced air intakes, but now it’s ...

US Air Force technology promises to improve efficiency for high-speed aircraft, but big hurdles remain As part of ongoing research efforts to develop a practical pulse detonation engine (PDE), the US ...

Researchers in China have introduced a new hypersonic engine concept by integrating a ramjet with a rotary detonation engine. A team at Tsinghua University in Beijing created a new design known as the ...

Detonation is a supersonic combustion wave, characterized by a shock wave driven by the energy release from closely coupled chemical reactions. It is a typical form of pressure gain combustion, ...

Last year, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) quietly unveiled a new high-speed missile program called Gambit. The program is meant to leverage a novel method of propulsion that ...

Perhaps the opening is now for the greatest of all space adventures to be partaken by the two countries. The cause of space is meant to unite, not divide. In the last week, Russian President Vladimir ...

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 ...

Power generation and distribution is a big problem in Nigeria and a Nigerian in the US is willing to save all of us from this national embrassment. Abdulraheem Bello is the young small man with a ...
