Rotating detonation engine could be up to 25% more efficient than traditional jet engines. This could make airplanes and missile faster or with longer range. Smaller weapons could reach the same ...

They're noisy, but your next missile or military vehicle might have an RDE (rotating detonation engine) powerplant in it. RDEs are more fuel-efficient, lighter, easier to maintain, and capable of ...

The world of hypersonics is perhaps just as captivating to some people as say space exploration is to others. After all, it's all about going really, really fast through Earth's atmosphere, many times ...

Rotating detonation engines In 2020, we saw the first of an "impossible" new breed of rotating detonation engines (RDEs) fire up on a test bench. These machines leave the slow, controllable world of ...
