💨 Abstract

Venus Aerospace successfully tested a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) that could enable hypersonic jets to travel four to six times the speed of sound. The engine launches from conventional runways, making long-distance trips like London to New York as short as a trip to France. The company, founded in 2020, aims to develop the Stargazer M4 reusable passenger aircraft.
