A supersonic drone that will be propelled by a revolutionary new engine has taken to the skies for the first time. When Venus Aerospace's aircraft does go supersonic on a later date, it will be ...

Venus Aerospace successfully completed the test flight of its drone with a “rotating detonation rocket engine”. The company hopes to use this type of engine to build commercial Mach 9 speed planes in ...

In a normal situation, the moment you press the brake pedal, the engine RPM (revolutions per minute) should drop. But the engine sound left on the black box of the City Hall Station crash vehicle was ...

Researchers hope the first flight of an aircraft powered by a pulse detonation engine (PDE) will accelerate development of a propulsion concept that promises greater simplicity, lighter weight and a ...
