Venus Aerospace is a Houston-based propulsion startup founded in 2020 developing a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) and an air-breathing detonation ramjet (VDR), engines that aim to deliver much higher efficiency and performance for high-speed flight and defense applications. The company's long-term ambition is practical hypersonic flight in the Mach 5–Mach 10 range. In May 2025 it completed what it described as the first U.S. in-atmosphere flight test of a high-thrust RDRE; sustained hypersonic flight of a full vehicle remains the goal.
