Abstract

A source of electrical energy, which may be from a gas turbine 1 connected to an electrical generator 2, provides electricity to heat air of a ram/scramjet 3 using such means as electric arcs using electrodes 4. The source of electrical energy may also be from solar panels or fuel cells or capacitors. The gas turbine may be powered using hydrogen or kerosene or biodiesel and may also function as a turbojet, with or without afterburning, using a clutch. The ram/scramjets may be positioned near the generator to keep wiring to a minimum. The gas turbine may be positioned near the rear of the aircraft to enable the oncoming high speed airflow to be slowed down, and there may be a large air reservoir (7, fig 4) connected an intake (6) which may vary in size.
