Taking an uncommon approach to revealing future flight technology to the general public, this comprehensive examination conveys the technological possibilities for the next generation of military and commercial aviation. Written in superb but accessible detail, this study outlines the Lightcraft revolution—flights that will fly on microwave and laser energy beamed from satellite solar power stations—and shows how it will ultimately replace today’s commercial jet airlines.
