Liquid-fuel engines have been the preferred choice for rockets, but a new technology called rotating detonation engines (RDE) is emerging.

RDEs detonate fuel instead of burning it, leading to higher energy release, increased thrust, and potential for powering vehicles farther and faster.

Developing a rocket system like Ariane 6 involves more than just creating the rocket itself; it includes engines, fuel, launchpad, and a manufacturing network, which took a decade amidst challenges like a global pandemic.
