• Imagine flying without burning a single drop of fuel. That’s the radical promise of the Tang Jet — a plasma-based propulsion system developed by Chinese physicist Professor Jau Tang.

    By mimicking a lightning bolt, the engine ionizes air into plasma, converting electricity directly into high-velocity thrust—no combustion, no emissions. The current prototype is small, but if scaled, it could revolutionize aviation and even electric space travel.

    If it works, today’s jet engines could soon feel as outdated as steam locomotives.
    Here’s what makes the Tang Jet a global game-changer —

  • India is going electric—in space.
    ISRO has just completed a 1,000-hour test of its 300mN Stationary Plasma Thruster, running at full power with xenon gas. The result? A propulsion system that's 6× more efficient than traditional chemical rockets.

    This marks a major leap toward lighter, longer-lasting, and smarter satellites—all leading up to ISRO’s TDS-01 electric mission. With plasma power, India’s next-gen space missions just got a serious upgrade.

    The future of flight isn’t fire… it’s plasma.

    Here’s what this means for global space tech:
