The recent demonstration of a hypersonic dual-mode ramjet (DMRJ) by GE with rotating detonation combustion (RDC) makes a significant advancement in the field of aeronautics and defense. This breakthrough was showcased at General Electric’s Research Center in Niskayuna, New York. It highlights a major stride in the realm of hypersonic technology. A novel approach to propulsion systems is presented by the DMRJ technology, distinguished by its RDC. Fuel and air are interjected between 2 coaxial cylinders in this setup. Upon ignition, a supersonic wave of combustion travels around the gap. It is continuously fed by the incoming mixture. Substantial heat … Continue reading The Hypersonic DMRJ Era Begins: GE’s Latest Test Redefines Aerospace and Defense Dynamics
