A supersonic drone that will be propelled by a revolutionary new engine has taken to the skies for the first time. When Venus Aerospace's aircraft does go supersonic on a later date, it will be ...

The Rotating Detonation Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney has no moving parts, which reduces complexity and costs, and could help enable high-speed, long-range flight with increased efficiency ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has joined forces with Raytheon to advance the development of a groundbreaking air-breathing rotating detonation engine called Gambit. Unlike ...

Detonation is a supersonic combustion wave, characterized by a shock wave driven by the energy release from closely coupled chemical reactions. It is a typical form of pressure gain combustion, ...

TL;DR: A hypersonic dual-mode ramjet engine is a high-speed air-breathing jet engine capable of operating efficiently at both lower and extremely high Mach speeds by utilizing dual combustion modes.
