Some of you wanted a more up, close & personal view of the beautiful air-breathing rotating detonation engine flame. So, by popular demand enclosing a side-on view of one of our 5 kN RDE tests at the government facility, a couple of days ago.

Not everyday that one gets to talk about the need for speed with both Shiva and Vishnu. :) Was an absolute pleasure @VishnuNDTV & @ShivAroor . Thank you for the patient hearing folks. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

India's quest for indigenous propulsion technology may have reached a turning point. Can a new rotating detonation engine developed by an Indian startup transform the future of missiles, drones, hypersonic weapons—and even space launch systems? On this week's #CtrlAltDefence#, Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor are joined by Saurav Jha, founder and CEO of D-Propulse, to decode one of India's most ambitious indigenous propulsion projects and why it could redefine military technology. All this and more answered on CTRL ALT DEFENCE with @ShivAroor and @VishnuNDTV on ALL your favourite podcast platforms. YouTube: NDTV: Spotify: Apple:

🎙️ Episode FIFTY of #CtrlAltDefence# - where @ShivAroor and I get schooled by @SJha1618 🔗 Watch now: ➡️India's quest for indigenous propulsion technology may have reached a turning point. ➡️Can a new rotating detonation engine developed by an Indian startup transform the future of missiles, drones, hypersonic weapons—and even space launch systems? ➡️Saurav Jha, founder and CEO of D-Propulse, decodes one of India's most ambitious indigenous propulsion projects. 🚀 What is a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) and why is it considered the future of propulsion? ⚡ How this indigenous engine could power next-generation cruise missiles and high-speed drones ✈️ Can RDEs give India a decisive edge in future air and missile warfare? 🌍 From hypersonic weapons to space launch vehicles—the military and civilian applications explained 🇮🇳 Why indigenous engine technology could become one of India's biggest strategic advantages

Just wrapped up a special podcast episode with the excellent @SJha1618, who has moved from defence commentary to building India’s future military aero engines. (No, seriously!). 50th episode of #CtrlAltDefence# drops tomorrow.

Thought I'll give you guys a sneak peek. Here's a video of one of the short duration runs conducted by @dpropulse with its air-breathing rotating detonation prototype at a government facility during July 21-22, 2026. 5 kN burn with reduced air mass flow and reduced fuel flow as well. Aerospike nozzle integration proved. High-speed, High-definition content will also be released by and by.
