Recently the engine in a close friend's street rod developed a severe case of blow-by—severe enough for the left fender to be covered in oil after a short drive. Blowing oil out of a breather is ...
A Florida team working with the US Air Force claims that it's built and tested an experimental model of a rotating detonation rocket engine, which uses spinning explosions inside a ring channel to ...
A new family of engines aims to harness the power of detonation shockwaves to create ever-faster rocket engines. One of these engines—known as a rotating detonation engine (RDE)—has shown some ...
Air enters the RDE inlet and as it passes the isolator, it mixes with fuel injected in a sequential, circular manner and ignited at the detonation annulus. The notional detonation wave front is ...
A pulse detonation engine, or “PDE”, is a type of propulsion system that uses detonation waves to combust the fuel and oxidizer mixture. The engine is pulsed because the mixture must be renewed in the ...
Disk rotating detonation engines could provide engines that are 10% more efficient, which could enable hypersonic planes. The USA, China, and Russia will be ramping up hypersonic weapon and hypersonic ...
Venus Aerospace conducted its first powered flight last month, reaching Mach 0.9 with a drone. The 8-foot-long vehicle was dropped from an Aero L-29 Delfín aircraft at 12,000 feet and flew under the ...
