Abstract:
A pulse detonation combustor may include a valve (38) and a tubular combustor wall (36), which forms an airflow inlet (48) and a combustion chamber (50). The valve (38) may be configured to selectively fluidly couple the airflow inlet (48) with the combustion chamber (50). The valve (38) may include a center body (56) and an annular projection. The center body (56) and the projection may be configured to sealingly engage with one another.
