The rotating detonation engine could transform the future of propulsion, whether in the air or in space. Unlike conventional ...

Rotating detonation engines (RDEs), as opposed to oblique wave detonation engines or pulse detonation engines, use ring-shaped chambers and precisely-timed fuel injection to generate constant thrust.

Essentially, it's a rotating detonation engine in which the detonation wave is stabilized within a high-speed rotor. A precisely shaped flow channel within the rotor compresses the air-fuel mixture to ...
