D-Propulse Achieves TRL-5 With Indigenous Rotating Detonation Engine Featuring Aerospike Nozzle

D-Propulse, an IIT-Madras-incubated start-up, has achieved a breakthrough by successfully demonstrating its Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) with an aerospike nozzle at TRL-5, producing 5 kN thrust even under reduced air mass flow conditions. This marks a major step in India’s indigenous propulsion ecosystem, tested at a DRDO facility.TRL-5 (Technology Readiness Level 5) means the Rotating
