Abstract (en)
It is presented an electric thruster (1) comprising an inlet conduit (2) defining an inlet section (1b) of atmospheric gas; an expulsion section (1c) of atmospheric gas from said electric thruster (1); an ioniser (3) configured to generate a first magnetic field and an accelerator (4) configured to generate a second magnetic field; and an assembly (5) generating a stream of electrons which, by interacting with said magnetic fields, ionises and accelerates the atmospheric gas defining the thrust of said electric thruster.
