Researchers from the University of Central Florida and the US Naval Research Laboratory have discovered an experimental configuration and flow conditions that generate a stabilized oblique detonation—a phenomenon that has the potential to revolutionize high-speed propulsion of the future. An open-access paper on their work is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Future terrestrial and interplanetary travel will require high-speed flight and reentry in planetary atmospheres…
