Photo of a Lockwood-Hiller Valveless Pulse-Jet in operation. Pulse-Jet engines are conceptually simple, but subtly sophisticated and complex in implementation. Improvements in mathematical modeling in fluid dynamics and control theory, along with the development of computer monitoring and control systems make pulse-jets an exciting, and potentially profitable area of research and development -- offering the potential of extremely light-weight, and robust engines, further expanding the options for inexpensive access to space. Heron Aerospace is currently undertaking computer modeling in this area, and pending results of theoretical modeling efforts, plans on developing an engine in the valveless pulse-jet/shock-wave type family of propulsion systems.
