Tiny nuclear explosions will power aircrafts, reveals a new patent from Boeing.

Subscribe to the channel - Boeing has patented nuclear powered aircrafts. The engines of these aircrafts include a unique propulsion system. A stream of pellets containing nuclear material such as Deutrium or Tritium is fed into a hot-stop within a thruster of the aircraft. Then multiple high powered laser beams are all focused onto the hot-spot. The pellet is instantly vaporized and the high temperature causes a nuclear fusion reaction. In
