This creates a high-speed rotating detonation wave that cycles within the chamber, generating a sustained high-pressure shock wave. Why is it so important?

A US-based propulsion company has successfully launched and flown a new rocket powered by a unique rotating detonation engine. Although relatively small by rocket standards, the test could pave ...

The SafeGuard uses a stock GM knock sensor to pick up a detonation signal from the engine. This signal is picked up by the electronic control module based on the time of the knock.

Governments around the world have been interested in rotating detonation engine technology for a long time because it has the potential to significantly increase fuel efficiency in a variety of ...
