There's an article on Pulse Detonation Engines at:
http://www.aerotechnews.com/SpaceAnd...y.htm#Space005 How much potential do PDE's have? Will they ever be more than a laboratory curiousity? |

Will they ever be more than a laboratory curiousity? Wasn't the German V1 buzz bomb powered by a PDE pulse jet? Perhaps a crude one but still a pulse detonation engine of sorts. Ed Majden |

![]() "Grantland" Nope. Pulse-burn. Much less efficient. Symantics! It was a pulse jet! Bomarc SAM was a Ram jet and operated on a different principal but was quite effective as a propulsion system after getting up to speed by solid booster on the B-model. Ed |

![]() "Grantland" "Grantland" Nope. Pulse-burn. Much less efficient. Symantics! It was a pulse jet! Fiesler Fi-103 (V1) Specifications Engine: Argus pulse-jet 600 pounds of thrust Length: 25' 4" Wingspan: 17' 6" Weight: 4800 lbs. Fully fueled Fuel: 150 gallons of Acetylene gas 1 mile per gallon Range: Approximately 160 miles from launch site Performance: Speed between 360-400 mph Flew at altitude of 2000-3000 ft Average flight time of 22 minutes Armament: 2337 pound war head Not as efficient, but still an early prototype PULSE JET!!! Different principal perhaps! Time marches on and so do design techniques. |

If this PDE research pans out, what would such an engine be used on?
A high-speed, high-altitude cruise missile (Something like FastHawk or ARRMD)? An SR-71 replacement (possibly manned, but probably not)? The first stage of a two stage reusuable space launch system? Something else? |
