What Is a Rotating Detonation Engine - and Whay Are They Better

Summary In a detonation engine the combustion process occurs fast enough to exceed the speed of sound causing a shock wave. Theoretically such an engine would be simpler and more efficient than the deflagration engines used in aircraft. Pulse versions of detonation engines have been built. The challenge is to design a continuous rather than pulse version which is a challenge steeped in physics.
