Key to this is the Venus Aerospace VDR2 air-breathing detonation ramjet engine that was unveiled last year. The heart of it is a ramjet that propels test vehicles at hypersonic speeds. At first ...

Houston-based Venus Aerospace flew a rotating detonation rocket engine last week, proving a key technology for the high-speed plane it's developing to fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in two hours.

NordSpace successfully performed a fully integrated test of its Taiga rocket system on January 14, 2025. Since then, the company has completed Taiga Mk II, the flight-ready variant of the vehicle.

Securing test facilities for large engines is another hurdle. While smaller subsystems (like the 28 kN turbopump it wants to test this year) fit on existing stands, the 2,000 kN engine’s sheer ...

That's all in the future, but for now, a successful test of the 2,000-pound rotating detonation engine is a sizeable milestone for the technology and the company behind it.

To view the test, click here and go to the 51-minute mark. The right burn BluShift is the first company in the world to build a rocket engine that runs entirely on a nontoxic, bio-derived solid fuel.

One test-fired a new hydrogen-oxygen engine for the upper stage of an unspecified rocket for 100 seconds. It was conducted by the 101 Institute of CASC's Academy of Aerospace Propulsion Technology.
