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 ...

Researchers at Purdue University's College of Engineering are conducting tests on a patented Tesla valve-inspired injection manifold design to improve the efficiency of rotating detonation engines ...

DARPA has contracted Raytheon to develop a practical version of a revolutionary air-breathing rotating detonation engine called Gambit, which would have no moving parts and could lead to lighter ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has joined forces with Raytheon to advance the development of a groundbreaking air-breathing rotating detonation engine called Gambit. Unlike ...

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 ...

There probably never was a better time for rocket engine fans to be alive. It's a time when those who have the means can go out and start building the rocket engine of their dreams, while the rest can ...

If we are to truly become a solar system-wide civilization, we really need to rethink the means of propulsion that are currently taking us off our own planet. After all, current rocket engines are ...
