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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
