better rocket engines are key to unlocking the full potential of space.
The purpose.
Space is going to be a $1T market in 2030.
But we are still using propulsion physics from the 1940s and reusability alone isn’t enough.
It’s time to bring rocket engines to the 21st century.
What are RDEs?
The technology.
Rotating detonation engines (RDEs) use a new combustion method called detonation.
Detonation waves rotate around the engine like an aerodynamic compressor and explosively burn the fuel.
This process releases radically more energy than today’s engines, achieving higher specific impulses (fuel efficiency for rocket engines).
the future that rdes can unlock.
The potential.
Launch // 2x cargo to space.
Satellites // larger payloads, longer lifespans, better maneuverability.
Defense // 2x speed to target in space and on ground.
