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 ...

Using a design once deemed too unstable to harness, NASA successfully tested a 3D-printed rotating detonation engine in 2023, marking a major breakthrough in propulsion. By exploiting supersonic ...

A new type of rocket engine, one that could power a plane from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours, has eluded scientists for decades. Houston's Venus Aerospace says it recently solved the puzzle.

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 ...
