Abstract
A system for providing aircraft thrust includes a compressor, operable to take in a quantity of air, reduce the volume of the air to generate compressed air, and to deliver the compressed air to a tank. The tank is coupled to the compressor and is operable to receive the compressed air, store the compressed air, and deliver the compressed air to a nozzle mounted externally to the aircraft. The nozzle is operable to receive the compressed air and discharge the compressed air to provide thrust for the aircraft.
