The Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) is an innovative engine type that converts chemical energy into thrust through detonation waves at high pressure and temperature, differing from conventional propulsion systems. Instead of deflagration—the subsonic combustion process used in classic jet engines and rockets—RDEs employ detonation, where the combustion wave propagates at supersonic speeds. This approach theoretically offers higher thermal efficiency, specific impulse, and reduced fuel consumpti
