Russian powerplant specialist United Engine has carried out initial testing of a pulse-detonation rocket motor which has potential application to orbital spaceplanes or hypersonic aircraft.

General Electric has begun running a pulse detonation engine (PDE) in its experimental Global Research Center laboratories in Niskayuna, New York. It plans to fire up a full-scale demonstrator as ...

Pulse detonation technology being pursued by General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce offers engine-makers the potential for improving gas turbine specific fuel consumption by double digits ...

Engines that convert chemical energy from fuel into kinetic energy via explosive detonation, rather than slower deflagration combustion as seen in typical internal combustion engines. Categories ...

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 ...

Such an engine uses a series of controlled explosions that travel around a circular channel at its base. The result is a massive amount of thrust coming from a much smaller engine using significantly ...

General Electric is ramping up studies into how to make production-standard pulse-detonation en­gines as it prepares to run the first-ever valve-controlled multi-tube PDE with a power turbine and gear ...

IAN Alpha Fund on Wednesday said it has invested Rs 25 crore in D-Propulse Aerospace. The firm plans to use the seed capital ...

The race to field reusable hypersonic aircraft got a whole lot hotter last month, with GE Aerospace announcing a breakthrough in high-speed jet engine design that could potentially allow conventional ...

Last year, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) quietly unveiled a new high-speed missile program called Gambit. The program is meant to leverage a novel method of propulsion that ...

Power generation and distribution is a big problem in Nigeria and a Nigerian in the US is willing to save all of us from this national embrassment. Abdulraheem Bello is the young small man with a ...
