    Conceptual Propulsion Frameworks for Unresolved Observations

    The following concepts are exploratory. Each faces substantial engineering barriers. None are operational at scale.

    Advanced Electric Propulsion Scaling

    Engineering Barrier: Power density and thrust-to-weight limitations

    High-Density Energy Systems

    Engineering Barrier: Energy storage and generation constraints

    Field Interaction Approaches

    Engineering Barrier: No experimental validation at engineering scale

    Plasma-Based Flow Control

    Engineering Barrier: Ionization energy requirements and containment

    Hybrid Propulsion Architectures

    Engineering Barrier: Integration complexity and system mass penalties
