In pulse detonation engines, which issue occurs due to incomplete deflagration-to-detonation transition?

💡 Explanation

Less impulse occurs because an incomplete deflagration-to-detonation transition yields subsonic combustion and thus less pressure rise, and reduced the ideal Brayton heating process. Therefore, thermal efficiency is lowered rather than increased emissions or higher temperatures.
