General Electric Aerospace has successfully showcased a groundbreaking demonstration of a hypersonic dual-mode ramjet (DMRJ) rig, incorporating rotating detonation combustion (RDC) technology within a supersonic flow stream. This test, believed to be a world-first, has the potential to facilitate high-speed, long-range flights with enhanced efficiency.

The experiment took place at the Research Center in Niskayuna, New York, where the company is actively advancing a wide-ranging portfolio of technology initiatives aimed at advancing and expanding hypersonic capabilities which includes the development of high-temperature materials and high-temperature electronics.

This effort is also supported by DARPA, the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Missile Defense Agency.

In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how GE Aerospace's hypersonic dual-mode ramjet could give a big boost to the US military?
