Aviation News – GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin have successfully completed engine tests demonstrating a liquid-fueled rotating detonation ramjet designed for hypersonic missile applications. The breakthrough matters as it could bolt higher speed, longer range, and greater efficiency onto future U.S. strike capabilities. The tests mark the first initiative between the two companies under a broader joint technology development arrangement aimed at advancing next-generation propulsion.

Ukraine's FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles, powered by repurposed Soviet engines sourced from landfill sites, are revolutionizing the conflict against Russia. Weighing six metric tonnes and capable of flying at 600mph, these missiles can strike targets up to 1,900 miles away, including critical Russian infrastructure. Developed by Fire Point, the Flamingo's distinctive pink color aids retrieval, while its cost-effectiveness ($500,000 vs. $2 million for US Tomahawks) makes it a strategic advantage. Initial strikes targeting Crimea, Belgorod, and Oryol regions have demonstrated their precision, damaging Russian factories and military bases. Analysts note the missile's ability to counter Russia's hypersonic threats and shift the war's balance. Despite lacking GPS, the Flamingo's success highlights Ukraine's growing technological autonomy in the conflict.
