These viewgraphs present the topic of progress in pulsed detonation rocket engines. Space payoffs for PDREs are thus: previous estimates have shown potential lsp advantages at sea level and even up to significant attitudes. However, there appeared to be little or no lsp advantage in a vacuum. When practical considerations governing real nozzles are considered, there now appears to potentially be an lsp advantage.
