A US-based propulsion company has successfully launched and flown a new rocket powered by a unique rotating detonation engine. Although relatively small by rocket standards, the test could pave the ...

In what may be a world first, Venus Aerospace has, for the first time in the US, successfully flown a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) that uses supersonic explosions to create thrust. Such ...

Venus Aerospace, a Houston-based startup developing hypersonic propulsion technology, completed what it calls the first U.S.

NASA engineers are testing a new type of propulsion system known as a rotating detonation engine. Unlike traditional rocket engines that rely on continuous combustion, this design uses supersonic ...

Venus Aerospace had the first-ever U.S. flight test of a rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE)—a next-gen propulsion technology that’s been theorized for decades, but never flown… until now. The ...

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.

GE and Lockheed Martin have demonstrated a new rotating detonation engine ramjet design in a series of tests that show significant potential for efficiency gains. If developed into a full missile ...

Engine maker GE Aerospace and defence manufacturer Lockheed Martin have teamed up to test a novel ramjet propulsion system for powering hypersonic flight. The pair say they completed a series of ...

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 ...

GE and Lockheed Martin plan to get around this by accelerating the missile using a rotating detonation engine, which uses a supersonic wave of detonating fuel that runs about inside an open-ended ...
