A large-scale pulse detonation engine utilizing air and kerosene was constructed to demonstrate its practical implementation. Testing this ground demonstrator revealed successes and areas requiring improvement in the design, fabrication, installation and actual testing of a large PDE. Many of the challenges of translating smaller, single shot experiments have been overcome in this implementation of a 4 inch diameter detonation engine. This paper will discuss the experiences in testing the engine as a whole, and also on some of these subsystems involved. Full testing has not been completed, but successful operation provides a positive outlook for further innovation and modification.
