Plan to create 6,900mph jet boosted by 'detonation rocket engine' drone test
A SUPERFAST drone has been flown at near-supersonic speeds thanks to a new engine that could eventually change passenger jets. Venus Aerospace successfully completed the test flight of its drone wi…
"The test successfully demonstrated flight controls, stability, one leg of the ultimate Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) propulsion system, telemetry, ground operations, and air launch. "The eight foot, 300lb drone was dropped at an altitude of 12,000 ft and accelerated to a top speed of Mach 0.9, flying for 10 miles. "It was powered by a hydrogen peroxide monopropellant engine at 80% thrust in order to not exceed Mach 1," the video caption explains.
