GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess ...

They're noisy, but your next missile or military vehicle might have an RDE (rotating detonation engine) powerplant in it. RDEs are more fuel-efficient, lighter, easier to maintain, and capable of ...

Rotating detonation engine could be up to 25% more efficient than traditional jet engines. This could make airplanes and missile faster or with longer range. Smaller weapons could reach the same ...

For years, the United States has trailed behind Russia and China in hypersonic weapons. A new engine prototype by Lockheed ...

The ramjet uses GE Aerospace’s rotating detonation combustion system and Lockheed Martin’s tactical inlet that enables ...

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 In 2020, we saw the first of an "impossible" new breed of rotating detonation engines (RDEs) fire up on a test bench. These machines leave the slow, controllable world of ...

Venus Aerospace's rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE). Houston, Texas-based Venus Aerospace, a hypersonics pioneer aimed at developing reusable hypersonic flight platforms, recently achieved one ...

The rotary engine has been absent on the frontline for quite some time, and it's on the way back. But not with Mazda.

Engine maker GE Aerospace and defence manufacturer Lockheed Martin have teamed up to test a novel ramjet propulsion system for powering hypersonic flight. The pair say they completed a series of ...

A series of tests have demonstrated the viability of a liquid-fueled rotating detonation ramjet for hypersonic missiles, ...
