Detonation Space

Detonation Space is developing rotating detonation engines which are thermodynamically 30% more efficient than conventional combustion-type engines. We believe that with the help of Detonation Space’s patent pending engine technology, drones will have longer flight times, planes will be able to accommodate more passengers, rockets will be able to go farther or carry more payloads.

Detonation Space is targeting aerospace, aviation, and drone markets.
Total market potential amounts to $165 million units (source).
It is time to abandon the technology of the 20th century and look towards the future with Detonation Space.
We expect that our technology will increase efficiency of aerospace vehicles, such as rockets, planes, helicopters, drones by cutting down fuel expenditure, making vehicles more lightweight, and decreasing cost per kilogram of payload.
