Fuel and oxidizer are injected into the channel, normally through small holes or slits. A detonation is initiated in the fuel/oxidizer mixture by some form of igniter. After the engine is started, the detonations are self-sustaining. One detonation ignites the fuel/oxidizer mixture, which releases the energy necessary to sustain the detonation.

Above this speed, given sufficient initial flight velocity, a ramjet is self-sustaining. Unless the vehicle drag is extremely high, the engine/airframe combination tends to accelerate to higher and higher flight speeds, substantially increasing the air intake temperature. As this could damage the engine and/or airframe integrity, the fuel ...
A pulsejet engine (or pulse jet) is a type of jet engine in which combustion occurs in pulses.A pulsejet engine can be made with few [1] or no moving parts, [2] [3] [4] and is capable of running statically (that is, it does not need to have air forced into its inlet, typically by forward motion).
A pulse detonation engine (PDE) is a type of propulsion system that uses detonation waves to combust the fuel and oxidizer mixture. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The engine is pulsed because the mixture must be renewed in the combustion chamber between each detonation wave and the next.
As the piston approaches the TDC the combustible mixture is self-ignited due to the compression of it. Then, the deflagration to the detonation transition occurs in the detonation tube 9. The output of detonation products from the tube 9 happens in a short period of time, when the piston is near the TDC. Then, the process is repeated.
A shock-induced combustion ramjet engine (abbreviated as shcramjet; also called oblique detonation wave engine; also called standing oblique detonation ramjet (sodramjet); [1] or simply referred to as shock-ramjet engine) is a concept of air-breathing ramjet engine, proposed to be used for hypersonic and/or single-stage-to-orbit propulsion applications.
The Humphrey cycle is the thermodynamic cycle occurring detonation engines such as rotating detonation engines, the pulse detonation engines, and pulse compression detonation systems. It may be considered to be a modification of the Brayton cycle in which the constant-pressure heat addition process of the Brayton cycle is replaced by a constant ...
