WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFRL) – The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory successfully flew the first of a second generation of autonomous collaborative platforms known as the XQ-67A demonstrator, built and flown in the Off-Board Sensing Station, or OBSS, program Feb. 28, 2024. The AFRL OBSS program is the validation of a design, build,…
Assumptions Without further details on the system, the ethylene-glycol water mixture is assumed to be mixed and used similarly to how it is used in automobiles: 50:50 mix, likely not greater than 70:30 due to potential limitations in corrosion inhibitors Operating temperature range: ~195–220 °F (90–104 °C) The antifreeze mixture will likely not ignite on its own until the water portion is driven off. …

Rotating detonation engines (RDEs) have garnered substantial attention as an emerging technology with applications to aerospace propulsion and energy generation due to their high-power density. Significant research and development have improved the operability and performance of RDEs, but relatively few studies have investigated the problems associated with integrating the combustor into an airframe. The U.S….
