Abstract

A power system for a flight vehicle includes a first power plant and a second power plant. The second power plant is configured to combust a fuel-fluid mixture. The first power plant includes a closed fluid loop configured to contain a working fluid. The first power plant includes a compressor configured to compress the working fluid. The first power plant includes a thermal engine coupled to the compressor and configured to operate the compressor. In certain configurations, the first power plant includes a container encasing the closed fluid loop, the compressor, and the thermal engine. In various configurations, the power system is coupled to a primary propulsor of the flight vehicle and configured to provide power to the primary propulsor. The power system is separate from the primary propulsor such that the primary propulsor is continuously operable independently of the power system to provide power to operate the flight vehicle.
