Boeing will Airplane engine running due to thermonuclear explosions – Informing

Boeing engineers designed aircraft engine, which operates thanks to the small thermonuclear explosion. The approval for a patent for his invention, Boeing has received from the Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

It is known that until this project exists only on paper, but the implementation of it in the air is able to make a breakthrough, because up to this point like Projects engines intended only to implement strictly in space.

According to experts, the operating principle of thermonuclear engine is focusing on high-power lasers, mounted inside the engine, on the radioactive material. As a result of the nuclear reaction produces a small thermonuclear explosion, which creates a jet thrust.

The main advantage is that this engine will not pollute the environment and require minimum investments. Installation of such an engine is possible not only in the plane, but on a spaceship or rocket.

However, the creation of such a power plant takes a lot of time, and the need to test a large enough number to make the new engines are completely safe.
