Researchers in China have introduced a new hypersonic engine concept by integrating a ramjet with a rotary detonation engine. A team at Tsinghua University in Beijing created a new design known as the ...

A startup high-speed flight company from Houston, Texas, has successfully tested its Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) ultimately aimed at allowing travel at four to six times the speed of ...

Theoretical tests say that this beast of an engine should be capable of hypersonic flight over Mach 5+ (3,836 mph / 6,174 km/h), at considerably higher efficiency than other detonation engines – and ...

Andrew Duggleby, co-founder and CTO of Venus Aerospace, discusses their groundbreaking propulsion technology. They have a ramjet integrated with a rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) which they ...

Rotating Detonation Engines (RDE) have been flown by Venus Aerospace. They use continuous detonation waves for propulsion and provide 15% efficiency gains (in specific impulse or fuel consumption) ...

Venus Aerospace just took one giant leap toward hypersonic travel. The Houston-based startup successfully completed the first U.S. flight test of an exotic new type of engine, capable of enabling ...

In what may be a world first, Venus Aerospace has, for the first time in the US, successfully flown a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) that uses supersonic explosions to create thrust. Such ...

The race to bring hypersonic flight into the real world just took a leap forward with Venus Aerospace's successful test of a revolutionary engine. The Houston-based startup has developed a compact ...
