The Lightcraft is a space- or air-vehicle driven by beam-powered propulsion, the energy source powering the craft being external. It was conceptualized by aerospace engineering professor Leik Myrabo at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1976, who developed the concept further with working prototypes, funded in the 1980s by the Strategic Defense Initiative organization, and the decade after by the Advanced Concept Division of the US Air Force AFRL, NASA's MFSC and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

  • ライトクラフト (Lightcraft) とは、マイクロ波ビームやレーザーといったビーム状の電磁波を用いた外部からのエネルギー供給により、大気中または宇宙空間で推進力を得るように設計されたあらゆる種類の飛翔体、またはその推進方式。いわゆるの一種である。 (ja)
  • Ein Lightcraft ist ein Raumfahrzeug, dem ein bodengestützter Impuls-Laser oder -Maser die benötigte Antriebsenergie zuführt. Der Laser strahlt auf einen parabolförmigen Reflektor an der Unterseite des Flugkörpers. Im Brennpunkt des reflektierten Strahls entstehen extrem hohe Temperaturen von 10.000 bis 25.000 °C. Materie in diesem Bereich dehnt sich durch die extreme Erwärmung explosionsartig aus, überträgt einen Teil des Impulses der Gasteilchen auf den Reflektor und beschleunigt so den Flugkörper. Während der Pause zwischen zwei Impulsen strömt wieder kühles Gas hinter den Reflektor, das beim nächsten Impuls erneut den Flugkörper beschleunigt. (de)
