1. An engine, comprising: a compressor stage through which a compressed flow passes;a compressor plenum which is coupled to and downstream of the compressor stage and receives said compressed flow;a pulse detonation combustor stage having a plurality of pulse detonation combustors, where said pulse detonation combustor stage receives said compressed flow from said compressor plenum and uses at least a portion of said compressed flow in operation of at least one of said pulse detonation combustors;an exit nozzle stage coupled to said pulse detonation combustor stage which comprises at least one exit nozzle having a converging-diverging geometry, wherein an exhaust from said at least one pulse detonation combustor is directed to at least one exit nozzle and said at least one exit nozzle directs said received exhaust out of said exit nozzle stage; andat least one turbine stage downstream of said exit nozzle stage, wherein said at least one turbine stage receives said received exhaust directed out of said exit nozzle stage. 2. The engine of claim 1, wherein said turbine stage comprises a first and second turbine stage and a turbine plenum stage is positioned between said first and second turbine stage. 3. The engine of claim 1, wherein said exit nozzle stage comprises an exit nozzle stage plenum such that said exhaust from said at least one pulse detonation combustor enters said plenum prior to being directed to said at least one exit nozzle. 4. The engine of claim 1, wherein said exit nozzle stage comprises at least one ejector, wherein said at least one ejector cooperates with said at least one exit nozzle to direct said exhaust flow out of said exit nozzle stage. 5. The engine of claim 1, wherein said compressor plenum comprises at least one active or passive dampening device. 6. The engine of claim 1, wherein said exit nozzle stage comprises a plurality of exit nozzles, and wherein a transition stage is positioned between said exit nozzle stage and said turbine stage, said transition stage comprising a plurality of transition tubes which are coupled, individually, to said plurality of exit nozzles to direct said exhaust to said turbine stage. 7. The engine of claim 6, wherein the transition tubes are twisted in a helical pattern between said exit nozzle stage and said turbine stage. 8. The engine of claim 6, wherein at least one of said transition tubes has a cross-section which is larger adjacent said turbine stage than adjacent said exit nozzle stage. 9. An engine, comprising: a compressor stage through which a compressed flow passes;a compressor plenum which is coupled to and downstream of the compressor stage and receives said compressed flow;a pulse detonation combustor stage having a plurality of pulse detonation combustors, where said pulse detonation combustor stage receives said compressed flow from said compressor plenum and uses at least a portion of said compressed flow in operation of said pulse detonation combustors;an exit nozzle stage coupled to said pulse detonation combustor stage which comprises a plurality of exit nozzles having a converging-diverging geometry, wherein exhaust from said pulse detonation combustors is directed to said exit nozzles and said exit nozzles direct said received exhaust out of said exit nozzle stage; andat least one turbine stage downstream of said exit nozzle stage, wherein said at least one turbine stage receives said received exhaust directed out of said exit nozzle stage. 10. The engine of claim 9, wherein said turbine stage comprises a first and second turbine stage and a turbine plenum stage is positioned between said first and second turbine stage. 11. The engine of claim 9, wherein said exit nozzle stage comprises an exit nozzle stage plenum such that said exhaust from said at least one pulse detonation combustor enters said plenum prior to being directed to said exit nozzles. 12. The engine of claim 9, wherein said exit nozzle stage comprises at least one ejector, wherein said at least one ejector cooperates at least one of said exit nozzles to direct said exhaust flow out of said exit nozzle stage. 13. The engine of claim 9, wherein said compressor plenum comprises at least one active or passive dampening device. 14. The engine of claim 9, wherein a transition stage is positioned between said exit nozzle stage and said turbine stage, said transition stage comprising a plurality of transition tubes which are coupled, individually, to said plurality of exit nozzles to direct said exhaust to said turbine stage. 15. The engine of claim 14, wherein the transition tubes are twisted in a helical pattern between said exit nozzle stage and said turbine stage. 16. The engine of claim 14, wherein at least one of said transition tubes has a cross-section which is larger adjacent said turbine stage than adjacent said exit nozzle stage. 17. An engine, comprising: a compressor stage through which a compressed flow passes;a compressor plenum which is coupled to and downstream of the compressor stage and receives said compressed flow;a pulse detonation combustor stage having a plurality of pulse detonation combustors, where said pulse detonation combustor stage receives said compressed flow from said compressor plenum and uses at least a portion of said compressed flow in operation of said pulse detonation combustors;an exit nozzle stage coupled to said pulse detonation combustor stage which comprises a plurality of exit nozzles, wherein exhaust from said pulse detonation combustors is directed to said exit nozzles and said exit nozzles direct said received exhaust out of said exit nozzle stage; andat least one turbine stage downstream of said exit nozzle stage, wherein said at least one turbine stage receives said received exhaust directed out of said exit nozzle stage,wherein said turbine stage comprises a first and second turbine stage and a turbine plenum stage is positioned between said first and second turbine stage, andwherein said at least one of said exit nozzles has a converging-diverging geometry.
