Detonation combustion achieves near-constant-volume burning, drastically reducing entropy generation and wasting less energy as heat compared to traditional deflagration propulsion. Its supersonic ...

This summary provides an elucidation of the complex processes underlying flame acceleration and the subsequent transition to detonation in combustion systems. Flame acceleration, a phenomenon in which ...

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 ...
