Oblique detonation waves (ODWs) represent an advanced class of shock-induced combustion phenomena in which the detonation front propagates at an angle to the oncoming supersonic flow. These waves are ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers in China have introduced a new hypersonic engine concept by integrating a ramjet with a rotary detonation engine. A ...

Detonation is a combustion phenomenon that races through at supersonic speeds, significantly impacting combustion chamber performance. Early detonation flow field designs relied heavily on ...

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, ...

Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation ...

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 ...

GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess of Mach 5 in a smaller, cheaper, lighter, and more efficient package than ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists have once again innovated a new technology—and not just any technology, but an extraordinary new engine that could improve rotating detonation engines. It could have profound ...

China has made a bold claim that is catching global attention, its scientists say that they have successfully tested a powerful new engine that could change the future of military technology. Known as ...

The rotating detonation ramjet engine provides a more compact, lightweight design than standard engine designs, and uses a continuous, self-sustaining detonation wave. GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin ...
