Essentially, it's a rotating detonation engine in which the detonation wave is stabilized within a high-speed rotor. A precisely shaped flow channel within the rotor compresses the air-fuel mixture to ...

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) ...

Astrobotic completed a successful series of hot-fire tests of its rotating detonation rocket engine prototype, marking a key milestone for the experimental propulsion technology.

A new propulsion milestone has been reached as Astrobotic successfully tests its experimental Chakram rotating detonation rocket engine, achieving a record 300-second continuous burn during a campaign ...

Two Chakram engine prototypes accumulated more than 470 seconds of total run time.

Astrobotic Technology says it has fired a rotating detonation rocket engine at 4,000 pounds of thrust, a milestone that puts the Pittsburgh-based lunar logistics company at the leading edge of an ...
