The bright minds from the University of Central Florida (UCF) are on a path to revolutionize the future of air travel, and even facilitate interplanetary transportation. In the quest to find a ...

Academic facilities like Purdue University’s Zucrow Labs are helping pioneer pressure-gain developments like this RDE aerospike nozzle concept. Credit: Purdue University As part of the never-ending ...

A study demonstrates an experimental framework for developing detonation-based propulsion. Conventional propulsion fuels and technologies produce thrust through deflagration, which is a subsonic ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University have developed new combustion technology that can shrink the size of engines and eliminates the need for them to be round in shape. The novel ...

From a thermodynamic point of view, detonations are more efficient than the more commonly known deflagration (classic combustion). While classic combustion in rocket engines takes place at constant ...

The facility had successfully demonstrated the propagation of a detonation wave in a laboratory setting for the first time in India. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur has launched a ...

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur has launched a Detonation Tube Research Facility (DTRF) in the Combustion and Propulsion Laboratory of the institute to advance research and knowledge ...
