MattWriter wrote: I'm curious why the pulse-jet keeps cropping up in discussions of possible or alleged advanced high-speed aircraft. Isn't the thing inefficient as heck? Pulsejets and Pulse Detonation Engines are completely different devices, despite the similarity in name and the vague similarity in operating principle. (One important difference is that pulsejets went from concept to flying hardware very quickly, while PDEs have been The Engine Of The Future for nearly half a century now.) -- MOST launched 30 June; first light, 29 July; 5arcsec | Henry Spencer pointing, 10 Sept; first science, early Oct; all well. | |
