Microwave-powered rocket propulsion gets a boost

Researchers found that power could be sent to a free-flying drone via a beam of microwave radiation. The team estimated the efficiency of this process and compared it with that for a fixed-position drone. The results have implications for the possibility of using such microwave power transmission to launch aircraft, spacecraft, and rockets and avoid the high onboard-fuel requirements of commonly used propulsion approaches.
