The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Scaled Composites plan to conduct around late September what is described as the first-ever flight of a pulse detonation engine (PDE)-powered aircraft.
An experimental pulse-detonation-powered aircraft should begin test flights next month at Mojave, Calif., now that the FAA has issued it an airworthiness certificate. Powered by a pulse detonation ...
General Electric is ramping up studies into how to make production-standard pulse-detonation en­gines as it prepares to run the first-ever valve-controlled multi-tube PDE with a power turbine and gear ...
The bright minds from the University of Central Florida (UCF) are on a path to revolutionize the future of air travel, and even facilitate interplanetary transportation. Follow us: In the quest to ...
There have been published papers by the Air Force Research Lab and NASA on rotating detonation engines having 10% or more efficiency gains. A rotating detonation engine (RDE) uses a form of pressure ...
Engines that convert chemical energy from fuel into kinetic energy via explosive detonation, rather than slower deflagration combustion as seen in typical internal combustion engines. Categories ...
