The results, published in China’s Journal of Experiments in Fluid Mechanics, suggest combustion rates 1,000 times faster than traditional scramjet engines, with operational capability between Ma ...

The other solution is using a rocket to go from 0 to mach 5 and then releasing a small scramjet engine to ... to hypersonic speeds. The engine’s design is notably simpler, with no moving parts in the ...

Chinese scientists have successfully tested a new detonation engine using kerosene, which could revolutionize air travel. With these promising first tests complete, they estimate that creating a ...

Chinese scientists have successfully completed initial tests of a new type of detonation engine that uses kerosene, which could revolutionise air travel. They estimate that a passenger aeroplane ...

But in an RDRE the detonations are tamed by the shock waves generated in combustion, which in the lab have been shown to circle the engine chamber in a predictable way at supersonic speeds.

when enough oxygen was able to enter into the engine chamber, react with the kerosene and spark a fire. While the fire was contained to one engine barrel, as it was designed to do, Gerstenmaier ...

The engine continues to run rich in this way until it heats up to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. "That's a problem because you're actually putting extra fuel into the combustion chamber to make it ...
