Abstract
Exemplary air breathing plasma jet engine and method of operation that can be used in electrically powered aircraft and spacecraft as a hybrid between a turbo jet engine and a ramjet or supersonic sonic ramjet (SCRAMJET) engine. The air breathing plasma jet engine includes a compression stage that is configured to compress and slow down incoming air. The compressor can be driven by a high RPM electric motor. The compression stage generates compressed and heated air flow that is passed to a plasma chamber that is configured to add heat to the compressed and heated air flow. The heat are converted to an impulse, e.g., using a converging-diverging (De Laval) nozzle. The system is beneficially configured to reuse the heat byproduct generated in the compression stage.
