>The Dugglebys are proposing a radically different flight profile. They intend for their aircraft to take off and then perform a 10-minute boost with its rocket engine. This will send the aircraft to an altitude of approximately 50 km, or half the way to space. Oh, and they're aiming for an airport-like operational cadence of four flights a day.
>To that end, the company recently decided on a fuel mix for its engine: room-temperature hydrogen peroxide and Jet-A, the fuel used by a majority of jet aircraft already flying at airports. The company's engineers also recently achieved liquid peroxide and Jet A detonation, which is important for using a stable fuel composition....One key to making all of this work is using a new type of engine based on "rotating detonation."
