We analytically estimated the propulsive performance of pulse detonation engines (PDEs) in three cases, which were (1) a fully-fueled simplified PDE, (2) a partially-fueled simplified PDE, and (3) a PDE optimized as a system. The results of the model analyses in the cases of (1) and (2) were in good agreement with published experimental data which were obtained by using simplified PDEs. The comparison between the results of the analyses of simplified PDEs and those of optimized PDE systems showed that specific impulse would become higher by about 10-20% due to PDE-system optimization.
