ABSTRACT:
A gas ionizable to produce a plasma is introduced into an arcjet whose design includes integration of performance enhancing components in a complimentary manner to significantly improve arcjet performance and capabilities. Major integrated design features include an energy recovery chamber, heat exchanger and by-pass gas flow system which enable the integrated arcjet to operate with minimal frozen flow energy losses, high specific powers and very high thrust levels.
