Abstract：Continuous rotating detonation combustion, which is characterized by high efficiency, safety, and environmental friendliness, and is capable of sustaining combustion with a single ignition, has gradually attracted the attention worldwide and is considered a revolutionary aerospace propulsion technology. In this paper, firstly, the power technology advantages, detonation mechanism, and application directions of rotating detonation engines were systematically reviewed. Then, the key research progress in recent years on ramjet engines, rocket engines, and gas turbine engines that use continuous detonation mode was summarized. Finally, the key issues faced in the engineering application of continuous detonation combustion engines were studied, and the future development trend was projected.
