DETONATION ENGINE AND FLIGHT VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detonation engine simplifying structure of whole engine and providing continuous output.

SOLUTION: This detonation engine 10 producing propulsion force by generating detonation wave is provided with a swirl generation means 13 generating swirl of mixture of atmospheric air and fuel or mixture of oxygen and fuel around axial line, a detonation chamber 14 arranged in a downstream of the swirl generation device 13 and formed in a ring shape extending in a radial direction and connecting in a circumference direction and burning mixture of which swirl is generated by the swirl generation means 13 continuously in a circumference direction to generate detonation wave and sucking air from a radial direction inside and discharging air to a radial direction outside, and a nozzle 15 connected to the detonation chamber 14 and jetting high temperature and high pressure combustion gas generated by detonation wave made flow out of the detonation chamber 14 backward while the same is being expanded to convert the same to propulsion force.
