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 in Purdue University’s College of Engineering are testing a patented Tesla valve-inspired injection manifold design that could improve the performance of rotating detonation engines. RDEs ...

Astrobotic completed a successful series of hot-fire tests of its rotating detonation rocket engine prototype, marking a key milestone for the experimental propulsion technology.

There's a somewhat simple explanation behind the rocket science at play here, but the visual result is astounding.

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 ...

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 ...

Astrobotic put its Chakram rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) through its paces for the ...

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 ...

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 ...
