Idea I have been pondering on for some time now, figured I would get it out in the open and let you guys do some thinking and input on it...
There are massive problems with this...however it is do able... its not something i would be attempting to experiment with because of the issues in
getting power..
Basicly it would use 'lightcraft' technology.... useing a high power laser pointed at a object which would focus the laser and superheat the air
around it...causeing propulsion
now doing a little estimating the problem is...
to lift a 250lb rc model off the ground, you'd damn near need a nuclear fission power plant on board
would take half of the niagra falls power plant offline.... for 250lb rc plane, it would take aprox 1,125,000 kw of laser power DOH.... oh well......
that sucks... but it is feasable.
