"accelerate oxidation of fuel-air... linear array of injectors to sustain fast moving shock waves in a rectangular domain. It is the first time a linear combustor has been studied computationally at this level of detail, which has revealed the causal mechanism for detonation stabilization... efficient on-demand thrust for small aircrafts or drones or can be used to attitude control of flight systems... ... shock wave speed 1.5 km/s generates high power per unit volume of combustor...  power generation, hypersonic flight"
