Rotating detonation engines (RDEs), as opposed to oblique wave detonation engines or pulse detonation engines, use ring-shaped chambers and precisely-timed fuel injection to generate constant thrust.

Last year, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) quietly unveiled a new high-speed missile program called Gambit. The program is meant to leverage a novel method of propulsion that ...

Researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) have designed and tested a key component for rotating detonation engines (RDEs), an emerging combustion technology that could help make ...
