摘要

The US Air Force has awarded North American Wave Engine Corporation a $1 million (€840,000) contract to build and demonstrate the Versatile Air-Launched Platform (VALP) as part of the service's efforts to develop high-impact technologies critical to future aerial combat, the company announced on 22 June. Designed primarily as a decoy, VALP is a multi-mission, air-launched vehicle that leverages the company's proprietary engine technology to demonstrate high-performance, low-cost propulsion for future generations of high-performance aerial vehicles. The propulsion technology provides jet performance and Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) in a highly cost-effective powerplant that requires no moving parts. "The future of aircraft is smaller, more capable and more affordable. The aviation industry has long been stymied by the lack of high-performance engines for small aircraft, and we are here to break through this barrier," explained Daanish Maqbool, CEO of Wave Engine Corporation. Wave engines constitute a class of aircraft engines that operate using pressure waves instead of rotating machinery. Intermittent combustion inside a hollow tube produces pressure waves that push hot gases and produce thrust. Wave Engine Corp.'s technology enables an order-of-magnitude reduction in the cost and complexity of jet propulsion, making it practical for a wide variety of airborne platforms for which jet propulsion was previously cost-prohibitive.
