Venus Aerospace is developing an innovative detonation ramjet engine designed to operate at speeds from Mach 0 to Mach 6. The engine features a unique configuration that includes a rotating-detonation rocket engine at the front and a ramjet at the rear, allowing for efficient propulsion. The company has confirmed that this is not a theoretical project; the rotating detonation engine has been built and tested for extended durations. Venus Aerospace is planning a flight demonstration of the complete system in the near future, which could represent a significant advancement in hypersonic technology. The design aims to integrate rocket and jet propulsion for enhanced performance.
