The engineering team will develop and test an innovative liquid propellant rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE). The project will focus on leveraging the potential of RDRE technology, which promises higher efficiency and reduced fuel consumption compared to traditional rocket engines.
The team will be responsible for the design, simulation, fabrication, and testing of a prototype RDRE. This will include optimizing the detonation wave dynamics and ensuring the structural integrity of the engine under operating conditions. A heavy-weight prototype will be designed and built, followed by a design-only for a flight-weight RDRE, using the results from the static test firings. The project aims to push the boundaries of aerospace propulsion technology, providing valuable research experience and contributing to the next generation of rocket engines. This project represents a unique opportunity for the university team to engage in cutting-edge aerospace research, with the potential for significant contributions to the field and real-world applications in space exploration and defense.
