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 ...

However, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has recently completed a successful test of a different type of rocket, known as a rotating detonation engine. The engine relies on an ...

The newly tested engines could power a variety of space projects. China's state-owned main space contractor tested five different rocket engines on one day last week in preparation for future ...

These are known as detonation engines, they come in all types of designs—including pulse ... the engine more efficient than conventional rockets. Now, a new engine designed by engineers at ...

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) completed five engine tests on Thursday in Beijing and Laiyuan, ...

Xia added that CASC will conduct research and testing of multiple engines for deep-space exploration, heavy-lift rockets, and other types of engines for China's major space projects, according to ...

the design of aerospike engines maintains high efficiency across a wide range of altitudes, making it ideal for rockets that can go from surface to orbit on a single spaceship. This type of ...

XI'AN -- China successfully completed three ignition tests for liquid oxygen-kerosene engines on Sunday, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). This marks the ...
