The Rotating Detonation Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney has no moving parts, which reduces complexity and costs, and could help enable high-speed, long-range flight with increased efficiency ...

SpaceX owns 98% of global rocket launches, a monopoly with virtually no competition. Only China is competing with Elon Musk at this point in number of launches and, while the country is getting closer ...

There have been published papers by the Air Force Research Lab and NASA on rotating detonation engines having 10% or more efficiency gains. A rotating detonation engine (RDE) uses a form of pressure ...

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) ...

SpaceX currently controls nearly every rocket launch on Earth. With 98% of global orbital launches under its belt, Elon Musk's company has become the de facto gatekeeper to space. While China is still ...
