A Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) operates on the principle of continuous detonation waves to produce thrust. Unlike conventional engines that rely on deflagration (subsonic combustion), an RDE ignites its fuel-oxidizer mix in a specially designed annular combustion chamber where detonation waves (supersonic combustion) rotate. This process rapidly compresses and ignites the mixture, generating a high-pressure and high-velocity exhaust plume. The key advantage of RDE is its efficiency; by utilizing detonation, it extracts more work from the same amount of fuel compared to traditional engines. This efficiency leap is due to the detonation process’s ability to compress the fuel mixture to a greater extent before combustion, leading to higher thermal efficiency. RDEs represent a significant advancement in propulsion technology, offering potential for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. However, challenges like managing the intense vibrations and ensuring consistent deto...
