Editing Pulsejet (section)

===Future uses===

Pulsejets are used today in [[target drone]] aircraft, flying [[control line]] [[model aircraft]] (as well as radio-controlled aircraft), fog generators,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Zhang |first1=Aiqi |last2=Xu |first2=Linyun |last3=Jin |first3=Jing |last4=Zhou |first4=Hongping |last5=Yi |first5=Shannan |title=Feedback effects of pesticides flow atomization on the operating characteristics of pulsed engines |journal=Crop Protection |date=1 December 2022 |volume=162 |pages=106094 |doi=10.1016/j.cropro.2022.106094 |bibcode=2022CrPro.16206094Z |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cropro.2022.106094 |access-date=9 October 2024 |issn=0261-2194}}</ref> and industrial drying<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Meng |first1=Xiangmei |last2=de Jong |first2=Wiebren |last3=Kudra |first3=Tadeusz |title=A state-of-the-art review of pulse combustion: Principles, modeling, applications and R&D issues |journal=Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews |date=1 March 2016 |volume=55 |pages=73–114 |doi=10.1016/j.rser.2015.10.110 |bibcode=2016RSERv..55...73M |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2015.10.110 |access-date=9 October 2024 |issn=1364-0321}}</ref> and home heating equipment. Because pulsejets are an efficient and simple way to convert fuel into heat, experimenters are using them for new industrial applications such as [[biomass fuel]] conversion, and boiler and heater systems.{{citation needed|reason=Specific examples of these kinds of experiments?|date=January 2021}}

Some experimenters continue to work on improved designs. The engines are difficult to integrate into commercial crewed aircraft designs because of noise and vibration, though they excel on the smaller-scale uncrewed vehicles.

The [[pulse detonation engine]] (PDE) marks a new approach towards non-continuous jet engines and promises higher fuel efficiency compared to [[turbofan]] jet engines, at least at very high speeds. [[Pratt & Whitney]] and [[General Electric]] now have active PDE research programs. Most PDE research programs use pulsejet engines for testing ideas early in the design phase.

[[Boeing]] has a proprietary pulsejet engine technology called [[Pulse Ejector Thrust Augmentor]] (PETA), which proposes to use pulsejet engines for vertical lift in military and commercial [[VTOL]] aircraft.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/07/boeings-millennium-falcon-floats-using-nazi-technology/ |title=Boeing's Millennium Falcon Floats Using Nazi Technology|magazine=Wired |first=Jesus |last=Diaz |date=28 July 2011}}</ref>
