A Chinese aerospace firm tested a detonation ramjet engine for the first time, aiming to power aircraft capable of flying passengers from Beijing to New York in just two hours. The Jindouyun ...

In 2023, General Electric Aerospace announced a successful demonstration of hypersonic dual-mode ramjet (DMRJ) rig which uses rotating detonation combustion (RDC) technology in a supersonic flow ...

Can we keep getting faster and faster without hitting an speed zone where things do not work? Venus Aerospace has developed the Venus Detonation Ramjet 2000 lb Thrust Engine (VDR2), which integrates a ...

Houston-based Venus Aerospace, meanwhile, is developing a rocket-based combined-cycle propulsion system that combines a rotating detonation rocket engine with a ramjet.

Their efforts led to a 2023 breakthrough at the Niskayuna, New York research center: a dual-mode ramjet (DMRJ) rig utilizing rotating detonation combustion (RDC) technology. The advanced method ...

Can we keep getting faster and faster without hitting a big gap? Can the engines be light enough? Venus Aerospace has developed the Venus Detonation Ramjet 2000 lb Thrust Engine (VDR2), which ...

The company revealed that scientists at its Global Research Center in upstate New York successfully tested a dual-mode ramjet engine subscale demonstrator that used rotating detonation combustion.

However, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has recently completed a successful test of a different type of rocket, known as a rotating detonation engine. The engine relies on an ...

Terrestrial cell-based theories, however—such as those that explain a land mine explosion—have not yet been applied as criteria for astrophysical detonation. Motivated by the potential of this ...
