As Australia’s space industry gears up, a team of Australian researchers has successfully tested a new type of engine that could be used in rocket launches.
Typical rocket engines burn fuel at a constant pressure in a chamber called a combustor. This engine has a ring-shaped combustor, and it detonates propellant rapidly around the ring.
Once started, there is a self-sustaining cycle of detonation waves travelling around the combustor at very high speeds, exceeding 2.5 kilometres per second.
It’s called a rotating detonation engine, or RDE. Once perfected, it could be more fuel efficient and more compact than typical rocket engines, meaning it could be cheaper and launch heavier items.

A San Francisco-based startup is vying to revolutionize widebody, premium economy cabins.
Zephyr, the vision of inveterate traveler Jeff O Neill, has developed a prototype premium-economy sleeper seat that offers in excess of six feet of lie-flat length. More than that, he and co-designer Matthew Cleary say they can fit the seats into the same footprint as existing premium-economy seat designs, a key business consideration for airlines. If sleep could be made more financially accessible or affordable to all types of travelers, there would be demand on long-distance flights, O Neill said. There is just so much demand from travelers, quite frankly, who just want to sleep.
