This Is Why Plasma Jet Engine is the Future

A Boeing 747 burns roughly 11 tonnes of fuel per hour. But what if a jetliner could be powered by pure electricity? It could navigate the globe without consuming fossil fuels and instead be powered by sustainable, clean energy. While that sounds like the vision of someone like Elon Musk, it’s actually a concept proposed by a professor at Wuhan

How does jet propulsion work?
An electric plasma jet engine sounds exciting, but could it really take the place of the gas guzzling jets we have today? Airplanes around the world now use a mix of kerosene and petroleum which is ignited after air compression. The heated gas expands with an explosive force that provides a power thrust to the jet engine. The resulting emissions are also thrown out the back of an engine.


Plasma, the universe is full of it
Plasma - in case you didn’t know - is the fourth state of matter after solids, liquids, and gases. It’s almost like a gas composed of charged ions, except that it doesn’t have a fixed volume or shape.

NASA is already using ion thrust technology
Plasma is not as dense as the other states of matter. In fact, plasma makes up a huge part of the universe. It’s present in stars, the Sun, and even in lightning. This means it can also be produced in a laboratory. NASA has been toying with the idea by researching what they call NSTAR, short for NASA Solar Technology Application Readiness.
