In traditional aircraft or rockets, fuel is burned continuously in order to generate thrust. As speed increases, approaching the speed of sound, air in front of the craft compresses until it creates a ...
GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess ...
Thrust-vectoring makes impossible maneuvers possible. The huge, powerful jets can perform extremely tight turns that ...
When is an empty tube not an empty tube? When it's a ramjet that uses rotating detonation technology to propel aircraft at hypersonic speeds. A case in point is Venus Aerospace's new Venus Detonation ...
The Solid Fuel Ramjet (SFRJ) and the Hypersonic Dual-Mode Ramjet (DMRJ) are seeing rapid success as the U.S. hikes spending and development of hypersonic weapons. GE Aerospace has shed more light on ...
On May 14, 2025 Venus Aerospace became the first in the world to successfully fly a high-thrust rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) — achieving what no government or private entity had done ...
A jet engine is any engine that can propel an aircraft of some kind via rearward expulsion of a jet of fluid, typically a hot exhaust gas that the engine generates by drawing in fuel from the ...
Hypersonic developer Hermeus has begun testing a proprietary pre-cooler engine technology that will be a critical feature of the company’s ultra-fast Quarterhorse aircraft. Pre-cooling refers to the ...
Chinese "Space Transportation" company, Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has successfully tested its new JinDou400, also known as JinDouyun, ramjet detonation engine nearly twice the altitude of ...
