The burning mixture expands rapidly and is blasted out of the back of the engine, pushing it forwards. Instead of fuel, plasma jet engines use electricity to generate electromagnetic fields.

its propulsion pressure is comparable to that of conventional airplane jet engines using fossil fuels,” they say, which is an extraordinary claim. The plasma thrusters used in space are ...

That's exactly what plasma jet engines should be able to do, although thus far they have been confined to research labs, mostly those focusing on using the engines to move satellites and other ...

The plane probably used plasma jet engines and they are being developed on Earth right now. Still, to make that plane a reality will take quite some time. A team of researchers from the Technical ...

A Chinese team has demonstrated a prototype of a microwave plasma thruster capable of working in the Earth's atmosphere and producing thrust with an efficiency comparable to the jet engines you'd ...

"I think the jet engine is more efficient than the electric motor, you can drive a car at much faster speeds," he mused. "That's what I have in mind: to combine the plasma jet engine with a ...

The idea of aircraft being powered by plasma drives might sound like something from a science fiction film, but a group of Chinese scientists has developed a prototype that might one day make it a ...
