Continuing high fuel costs and growing environmental pressures could inject new urgency into development of pulse-detonation engine (PDE) technology for wider commercial applications, rather than just ...

An experimental pulse-detonation-powered aircraft should begin test flights next month at Mojave, Calif., now that the FAA has issued it an airworthiness certificate. Powered by a pulse detonation ...

Various forms of unsteady or pulse detonation combustion in the future could feature turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine concepts that form part of NASA’s ongoing studies into highly reliable, ...

An international team of engineers that includes combustion experts from the University of Sydney's School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering are working on a revolutionary new ...

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 ...

Explosions get you much more bang from your fuel buck than combustion – if your engine can withstand them. NASA believes the rotating detonation engine could be the future of deep space travel, and it ...
