NPO "Energomash" successfully tested the detonation liquid-propellant rocket engine (LRE) on environmentally friendly fuel, TASS a message from the Advanced Research Foundation
"The specialized laboratory" Detonation LRE ", created in 2014 on the basis of NPO Energomash, conducted the world's first successful tests of a full-size demonstrator of a detonation liquid rocket engine on an oxygen-kerosene fuel pair," the release said.
It is noted that "the tests of two full-size demonstrators of the new engine were held in July-August of this year, the specialists managed to achieve their efficiency in several starts."
The Fund explained that “a detonation engine is different from a conventional liquid-propellant rocket engine in that a jet stream is created not simply by burning fuel, but by controlled explosions, and the shock wave is twisted in the engine’s combustion chamber.”
According to experts, all this "provides less fuel consumption with more power."
Igor Denisov, Deputy General Director of the Foundation: “The results obtained are of truly global significance and are impressive in their uniqueness. We took up the difficult task of proving the possibility of organizing detonation in oxygen-kerosene rocket engines. And now we can firmly say that this is possible, and we know how to do it. But we are not going to rest on our laurels, and we hope in the near future to give practical confirmations of all the other declared characteristics. ”
