Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper describes a theoretical analysis of the performance of MHD thrusters which utilise a magnetic field, and a method of working out their principal particulars. Among other topics discussed are the design concept and structure of MHD thrusters developed for use in the superconducting MHD propelled ship Yamato-1, and the operation and performance of the thrusters ascertained to date.
