We fired a really cool rocket engine - and broke some records while we were at it. 🔥This Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine produced more than 4,000 pounds of thrust, and included a 300-second continuous burn, which is believed to have set the record for longest duration hot firing of...

Proper regen, cooled by propellants!

300 seconds is serious duration for an RDRE. Always wondered how you managed the thermal cycling on the chamber walls. That unsteady heat flux usually kills these runs early.

@SciGuySpace What are the benefits of a rotating detonation engine over a more standard (albeit advanced) engine like the Raptor?

RDRE's use continuous detonation waves instead of steady combustion to extract more energy from the propellant & potentially reduce fuel consumption for the same thrust. This would help lower weight and improve performance. In aerospace, every ounce counts! More ounces available = send more science!

@SciGuySpace That’s really cool! Are y’all looking to develop these into a main stage engine or something else?

@SciGuySpace our eyes are set on our Xodiac and Xogdor rockets - plus, in the future, our lunar landers! We've got the imagination churning 😉

I think we need to start rating rocket motors in how many marshmallows they can toast per second.

It was a pressure-fed test for these TCAs. The standalone system will be pump-fed!

I really hope this gets in the air at some point sooner rather than later. I think the whole company could sell just for this piece.

What if you ribbed the spike, creating a tiered shockwave of knitted chakrams at one of the stable checkered pattern offsets? Like incrementally smaller cones amounting to same total length just you have a recessed ring/valley from which the next spike protrudes, creating a denser profile.
