VenosPace at Venus Aerospace in Houston completed the first test flight of the RDRe -bombing missile engine in the United States.
It was launched on Wednesday (May 14) from Spaceport America in New Mexico. A small missile equipped with Venus’ RDRE was lifted at 9:37 am EST (1337 GMT; 7:37 am local time in New Mexico).
The company said that this landmark represents the first successful test of this engine of the American soil and Venus took “a step closer to making high -speed flights available at reasonable and sustainable prices.” statement.
“This is the moment we work for a period of five years,” said Sassi Dubby CEO of Venus in the statement.
She added that the test is a proof of the design for the Venus’s RDRE and keeps the company on the right track of the high-speed trip on the runway, and she added: “We have proven that this technology is working-not only in simulations or laboratory, but in the air.”
Venus RDRE uses a compressed and highly efficient design, and the company ultimately hopes to play aircraft to Mach 6-six times the speed of sound-starting from traditional corridors. Compared to traditional missile engines, RDRS provides a greater push in smaller beams, but so far technology has been often theoretical.
Usually, the fuel missile engines in the combustion chamber are burned in a fixed process. RDS uses a continuous bombing wave that travels in a circle inside a ring in the form of a loop, which produces higher pressure and efficiency and leads to increased orientation with a decrease in fuel.
“This teacher proves that our driver works outside the laboratory, under real journey conditions,” said Venus CTO Andrew Duggleby at the same statement. “We have built a engine that does not only work, but it works reliably and efficiently – and this makes it developmental.”
RDRE is designed to work along with Ramjet at VDR2 of VDR2 from VDR2- A mixture that the company says will enable the sustainable, non-audio, without the need to reinforce. (The high -end journey is generally defined as Mach 5 and above.)
Andrew Dougabbi said: “This is the basis that we need, along with Ramjet, the system continues from taking off to a turbulent journey of sound.”
Through a successful test in books, Venus plans to a wide -scale payment test for its integrated system as it moves to rehabilitate the future Stargazer M4 design, a reusable passenger plane capable of reaching Mach 4.
