A US-based propulsion company has successfully launched and flown a new rocket powered by a unique rotating detonation engine. Although relatively small by rocket standards, the test could pave the ...

Venus Aerospace, a Houston-based startup developing hypersonic propulsion technology, completed what it calls the first U.S. flight test of a next-generation rotating detonation rocket engine on May ...

When is an empty tube not an empty tube? When it's a ramjet that uses rotating detonation technology to propel aircraft at hypersonic speeds. A case in point is Venus Aerospace's new Venus Detonation ...

This advanced rocket engine design could one day change how future propulsion systems are built! Marshall propulsion engineers designed the Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) to differ from a ...

The aerospace industry is on the verge of being completely transformed. Partly responsible for that are the many startups working on technologies so out of this world that they might completely ...

The Rotating Detonation Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney has no moving parts, which reduces complexity and costs, and could help enable high-speed, long-range flight with increased efficiency ...

A new type of rocket engine, one that could power a plane from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours, has eluded scientists for decades. Houston's Venus Aerospace says it recently solved the puzzle.

GE and Lockheed Martin have demonstrated a new rotating detonation engine ramjet design in a series of tests that show significant potential for efficiency gains. If developed into a full missile ...

Chinese scientists have once again innovated a new technology—and not just any technology, but an extraordinary new engine that could improve rotating detonation engines. It could have profound ...
