Detonation-based Propulsion

Detonation-Based Propulsion is a propulsion system concept that utilizes detonative combustion—characterized by supersonic exothermic reaction waves driven by shock compression—as its energy release mechanism, distinguishing it from deflagration-based systems that rely on subsonic flame propagation.
