NASA has achieved a breakthrough in space propulsion with its successful development and testing of the rotary detonation engine (RDE),a cutting-edge technology that could redefine the future of space ...

The combustion chamber was the engine’s heart. Here, its liquid oxygen and water alcohol propellants entered through 18 injectors on the top and burned at about 2,700 ºC (4,900 ºF). After the war, ...

A Brooklyn startup called Launcher has made its rocket engine’s entire combustion chamber in one 3D print.; Launcher received $1.5m in Air Force funding during a call for launch technology—the ...

Rocket engines contain confined combustion systems, which are, essentially, combustion chambers. In these chambers, nonlinear interactions among turbulent fuel and oxidizer flows, sound waves, and ...

Rocket engines use fuel injectors to deliver a fuel, usually hydrogen, and oxygen, the “oxidizer”, to a combustion chamber where ignition and subsequent combustion of the fuel occurs. The researchers ...

“Black Engine” is the name of a transpiration-cooled ceramic thrust chamber technology developed at DLR Institut of Structures and Design. Taking advantage of the favorable material properties of ...

At the heart of future rocket engines lifting off to the Moon or Mars could be a 3D printed combustion chamber. Multiple NASA centers partnered with Virgin Orbit to develop and test a uniquely ...

Supporting the experiments, numerical studies permit the theoretical transfer to transpiration cooling models of a 1:1 scale rocket engine combustion chamber. The goal is to apply transpiration ...

Hybrid rocket fuel research by mechanical engineers could hasten the day when a simpler, safer hybrid engine propels space missions. Hybrid rocket fuel research being done by a University of ...
