This invention proposes a closed-cycle power unit and its operation method for a submarine-to-air cross-mode vehicle based on an elliptical rotor engine and a pulse detonation engine, relating to the fields of aerospace and underwater propulsion. It addresses the problems of short battery life, low-temperature degradation and thermal runaway, high noise and pollution from traditional internal combustion engines (due to reliance on intake air and pollution), and the tendency for hydrogen-oxygen combustion to detonate. It also addresses the difficulty of using a single power source to simultaneously achieve underwater cruising and high thrust for cross-mode applications. In this invention, the elliptical rotor engine, without an intake duct and with direct-injection hydrogen-oxygen fuel for a rich combustion profile, serves as the core power source. The pulse detonation propulsion reuses its exhaust gas and supplemental fuel injection. Integrated control uses sensors and algorithms to switch between four modes, achieving cross-mode power supply for submarine-to-air applications. This invention extends the underwater endurance of the submarine-to-air cross-mode vehicle to several hours; enables stable and efficient operation at -20°C; provides rapid refueling without low-temperature degradation; suppresses hydrogen-oxygen detonation; improves thermal efficiency and power-to-weight ratio; reduces noise and contamination; provides sufficient cross-mode thrust; and achieves zero emissions.

The application discloses a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing aircraft based on a pulse detonation engine and relates to the technical fields of the pulse detonation engine and the aircraft. The aircraft comprises a detonation tube steering adjusting actuator which is composed of an electric push rod, a rocker arm, various hinge shafts and a protection connecting rod mechanism and the like; and a pulse detonation engine with thrust vector control which is composed of a fixed detonation tube, a movable detonation tube, a connecting tube device, a mixing tube and the detonation tube steering adjusting actuator.

The invention relates to jet engines, and more particularly to pulse detonation engines. The desired technical result, namely increased energy efficiency and reliability, is achieved in an engine having a combustion chamber configured in the form of a detonation resonator that opens into an exhaust nozzle. The resonator is an aspherical reflector that is symmetrical about the axis of the engine. A gaseous fuel and a gaseous oxidizer are used in the engine, together with a single-step combustion process. If a hydrocarbon fuel is to be used, the fuel duct is provided with a pyrolysis chamber. Pyrolysis is achieved as a result of the fuel flow coming into contact with the heated rear side of the reflector. A mixture of fuel and oxidizer is fed into the combustion chamber through an annular supersonic injection system. To initiate detonation, the engine can be provided with a detonation initiator in the form of a tube which is blind at the distal end and open at the end disposed in the combustion chamber, said tube lying along the axis of the engine. The detonation products flowing through the exhaust nozzle generate a thrust which propels the engine in the opposite direction. This pulse detonation engine design is simple and reliable and provides for the highly efficient generation of propulsive thrust force by maintaining cyclic resonant detonation at a frequency of around 10 kHz.
