New Scientist – Reaction Engines UK is developing the Sabre hydrogen-and-air-burning engine. It is designed to reach orbit in a future satellite-launching spaceplane called Skylon, and may be used ...
Researchers in China have introduced a new hypersonic engine concept by integrating a ramjet with a rotary detonation engine. A team at Tsinghua University in Beijing created a new design known as the ...
UCF researchers say they've trapped a sustained explosive detonation, fixed in place, for the first time, channeling its enormous power into thrust in a new oblique wave detonation engine that could ...
Rotating Detonation Engines (RDE) have been flown by Venus Aerospace. They use continuous detonation waves for propulsion and provide 15% efficiency gains (in specific impulse or fuel consumption) ...
EADS is hoping a newly approved joint project with Russian researchers will help pave the way to realising an air-breathing or rocket-propulsion technology that promises efficient operations from ...
A research team in Beijing says they have built a new type of rocket engine powered by explosions. The continuous rotating detonation combustion engine, developed by Professor Wang Bing and colleagues ...
Melroy, NASA's former Deputy Administrator, has joined the Board of Directors for Houston-based startup Venus Aerospace just months after the company became first in the U.S. to l ...

The United States has developed and tested its own version of a potentially transformative technology that could redefine the future of high-speed warfare and is already being mastered by China. The ...
Every one of the modern US Navy’s 129 ships, and its entire fleet of aircraft, relies on gas turbines for either basic propulsion or to generate electricity for their critical systems—typically both.
