Abstract

A laser jet engine (LJE) uses repetitively pulsed laser radiation and the atmospheric air as a working substance [1,2,3,4]. In the tail part of a rocket a reflector focusing radiation is located. The propulsion is produced due to the action of the periodic shock waves produced by laser sparks on the reflector.
