Vehicle and corresponding operating method

A vehicle (20) has a body and a source of a propellant. An engine (28) is carried by the body. The engine (28) reacts the propellant to produce thrust. The engine (28) has a heat exchanger (70) transferring heat from the reaction to at least a component of the propellant and generating electricity t...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle (20) has a body and a source of a propellant. An engine (28) is carried by the body. The engine (28) reacts the propellant to produce thrust. The engine (28) has a heat exchanger (70) transferring heat from the reaction to at least a component of the propellant and generating electricity thermoelectrically.
