Fire Fox new generation fighter jets the CST–plasma propulsion system is designed to approach, but never exceed, the speed of light. As velocity increases, the navigation computer continuously calculates the Lorentz factor and automatically reduces acceleration as the craft approaches 0.99c. The plasma field in front of the ship reduces drag, heat, and instability, allowing safe high-speed travel. During deceleration, the CST engine removes kinetic energy and transitions the craft back to scramj

Engineers in the United States have achieved a major breakthrough by testing a plasma powered jet engine that operated for seventy straight hours without using any fuel. Instead of burning jet fuel, the engine generates thrust through superheated plasma, creating propulsion in an entirely new and cleaner way. With no combustion and zero emissions, this technology could transform the future of flight. The success of this test brings the possibility of aircraft that fly for extremely long periods
