On January 14, GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin revealed the results of a new propulsion demonstration that could reshape the future of hypersonic flight. The two companies showed how a liquid-fueled ...

GE and Lockheed Martin plan to get around this by accelerating the missile using a rotating detonation engine, which uses a supersonic wave of detonating fuel that runs about inside an open-ended ...

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) ...

GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess of Mach 5 in a smaller, cheaper, lighter, and more efficient package than ...

The rotating detonation ramjet engine provides a more compact, lightweight design than standard engine designs, and uses a continuous, self-sustaining detonation wave. GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin ...
