That’s part of the secret sauce.  First, you have to set up the conditions and mixture to initiate the detonation.   2nd, you need to get the detonation to travel in the right direction.


In a pulse detonation engine, the detonation travels from front to rear in an intermittent manner.


In the RDE, multiple detonation waves travel around the combustion section, not 90 degrees to the flow, but on a diagonal with the detonation compressing and pushing the gas flow to the rear exit.
