Proposed plasma rocket, described in report, generates hybrid exhaust plume comprising annular layer of relatively cool neutral gas around plasma core. Plasma and gas intermix, providing gradual radial transition between the two. Amount of gas injected adjusted to control propulsive efficiency; relatively cool gas boundary layer at surface of nozzle insulates nozzle from high plasma temperature.
