In typical jet engines, about 20 fuel injection nozzles are arranged around the annular combustion chamber of the engine. The ...

Particularly promising is the so-called rotating detonation engine in which detonation waves propagate continuously around an annular combustion chamber at high frequency and thus generate ...

The rotating detonation engine consists of a combustion chamber that has a annular, ring-type construction. In this ring, fuel and oxidizer is injected, and ignited in such a way to detonate the ...

Such an engine would use supersonic detonation waves in an annular chamber to achieve highly efficient combustion, with a rotor aiding in fuel-air mixing, compression, and thrust optimisation.
