Lockheed Martin has announced plans to develop a fusion-powered fighter and bomber. The fighter would be able to fly at speeds of up to Mach 10, and the bomber would be able to fly at speeds of up to Mach 20. The bomber would also be able to carry a large payload. These plans could reduce conflict on a long enough timeline.

  • 00:00:00 Lockheed Martin has filed a patent for a plasma confinement system that could be small enough to fit inside the fuselage of an F-16 and help manage internal temperatures 10 times hotter than the center of the sun. This scalable device was designed to play a vital role in bringing nuclear fusion to the defense apparatus, but may have other potential applications beyond just warfare.
  • 00:05:00 Lockheed Martin has filed a patent for a fusion-powered fighter and bomber. The device would use superconductors to produce a magnetic field that can house superheated plasma within the device.
  • 00:10:00 The Lockheed Martin Skunk Works compact Fusion reactor patent describes a system in which a single reactor can produce a continuous 100 MW of power. This could be used to power aircraft, trucks, and other devices, and could even be used to power an entire aircraft without requiring refueling.
  • 00:15:00 The video discusses Lockheed Martin's plans for a fusion-powered fighter and bomber. The fighter would have unlimited range and could stay in the air for hours, while the bomber would have the same range and could carry a large payload. According to BP's statistical review of world energy, there is still enough oil on Earth to power the world for at least another 48 years. If Lockheed Martin's containerized fusion concept ever comes to fruition, it could reduce conflict on a long enough timeline.
  • 00:20:00 Lockheed Martin has announced plans to develop a fusion-powered fighter and bomber. The fighter would be able to fly at speeds of up to Mach 10, and the bomber would be able to fly at speeds of up to Mach 20.
