The Future of Hypersonic Flight

The World's Most Efficient Rocket Engine

Introducing The Venus Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine

Our Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) changes everything, and Venus is the first venture-backed aerospace company to bring the RDRE from concept to commercialization. 

RDREs are a breakthrough technology for rocket propulsion, which have the potential to offer several benefits over traditional rocket engines.

Venus Aerospace’s RDRE can amplify performance on rocket-powered products currently on the market. From defense to commercial uses, our RDRE can enable vehicles that go faster and farther.

Andrew Duggleby

CTO

Dr. Andrew Duggleby is the CTO and co-founder of Venus Aerospace, a U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander and an engineering professor. Before launching Venus, he was head of launch operations at Virgin Orbit where he led operational planning, mission control, telemetry, ground equipment, launch infrastructure, and payload operations teams. He also led a team of engineers and technicians to hotfire the first dual-mode 3D print (DMLS printed and DED cladded) rocket engine, in collaboration with NASA MSFC. Dr. Duggleby was a Mechanical Engineering Asst. Professor at Virginia Tech and Texas A&M. He founded Exosent Engineering with a former student, making ASME-rated hazardous transport trailers, and exited in 2015 to pursue his space passion. A Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, he has multiple deployments to Japan (shipyard repair), and multiple commanding officer tours of US-based reserve maintenance units. Would love to get more PhDs but his wife won’t let him.
