Have Lockheed and GE Aerospace finally fixed America’s hypersonic failure?
For years, the United States has trailed behind Russia and China in hypersonic weapons. A new engine prototype by Lockheed Martin and General Electric could help it catch up.
GE Aerospace reported it successfully demonstrated a hypersonic dual-mode ramjet it said could make possible “high-speed flight and longer range” for multi-mission aircraft. The developer also noted ...
TL;DR: A hypersonic dual-mode ramjet engine is a high-speed air-breathing jet engine capable of operating efficiently at both lower and extremely high Mach speeds by utilizing dual combustion modes.
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) ...
