Revolutionizing Rocket Engine Propulsion

[Venus Aerospace @VenusAerospace]

Today, Venus Aerospace made history.

We completed the first-ever U.S. flight of a rotating detonation rocket engine — proving runway-based high-speed flight is possible.

A huge thanks to our team, @Spaceport_NM, our investors, and U.S. government partners.

Let’s keep moving faster.

Full press release in comments.

[REINDUSTRIALIZE SUMMIT @reindsummit]

"We have not seen a fundamental change in propulsion technology in 60 years. The weapons and systems we're using right now are using engines from the 1960s and the 1970s.

But that is changing right now."

@RepLuttrell Appreciate the visit, Congressman. Delivering new capabilities at speed and scale depends on novel technology and a strong U.S. industrial base. Proud to be building that future in Texas.

[UP.Summit @UPSummitVC]

At the UP.Summit, Andrew Duggleby, Co-Founder & CTO of @VenusAerospace, shared how rotating detonation engines could represent the first true architectural leap in aerospace propulsion in decades.

Rocket engines hadn’t meaningfully changed in 60 years.

@sduggleby decided that was her problem to solve.

Now @Inc has named our CEO and co-founder to its Female Founders 500 for the fourth consecutive year.

The recognition follows a milestone: flying the first U.S. high-thrust rotating detonation rocket engine.

And helping bring the next generation of women into aerospace. 🚀
