Researchers in Purdue University’s College of Engineering are testing a patented Tesla valve-inspired injection manifold design that could improve the performance of rotating detonation engines. RDEs ...

The Rotating Detonation Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney has no moving parts, which reduces complexity and costs, and could help enable high-speed, long-range flight with increased efficiency ...

A revolutionary alternative to conventional rockets that uses controlled explosions has completed its first long-duration engine test as part of Venus Aerospace's partnership with DARPA to develop a ...

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 ...

Astrobotic Technology says it has fired a rotating detonation rocket engine at 4,000 pounds of thrust, a milestone that puts the Pittsburgh-based lunar logistics company at the leading edge of an ...

Astrobotic completed a successful series of hot-fire tests of its rotating detonation rocket engine prototype, marking a key milestone for the experimental propulsion technology.
