Wave begins delivery of fire-spewing engine with no moving parts


A University of Maryland spinoff pioneers affordable pulsejet tech for drones, delivering its first engines to a US government contractor.

The digitally controlled modern-day pulsejet engine features no moving parts and claims to offer major improvements in the cost reduction and rapid production of future jet-powered aircraft. “We are looking forward to working with our customers to increase production and bring an unmatched combination of cost, simplicity and flight performance to market,” said Daanish Maqbool, CEO of Wave, in a statement. In its recent demonstration flight, a 50+ lbf (222+ N) thrust wave engine powered a 100 lbs (45 kg) gross weight Conventional Take-Off and Landing UAV, showcasing remote instant start on liquid fuel.
