1. Propulsion system comprising: (a) a source of liquid water  (b) a boiler means connected to said source for converting said water into steam by means of a nuclear reactor  (c) a reactor pellet storage means having a plurality of reactor cores, said storage means connected to said boiler for delivering one of said cores at a time  (d) a diverter switch connected to said steam, said switch having a plurality of outputs  (e) one of said outputs being connected to the intake of a turbojet wherein it is mixed with air and developes a directional thrust  (f) the other of said outputs being connected to the intake of the ram jet wherein it is mixed with air and developes a directional thrust  (g) said steam also being connected to an electrical generating means so as to supply electricity  (h) a storage battery connected to said electricity generating means so as to supply electricity  (i) a source of liquid oxygen  (j) an ion jet having a plurality of inputs, one of said inputs being connected to said storage battery, another of said inputs being connected to source of liquid oxygen wherein said jet developes a directional thrust by means of a stream of oxygen ions  (k) a rocket control means connected to said storage battery  (l) a rocket connected to said rocket control means Line 11 goes line from rocket to the controls on control panel M.  (l) Ion jet has power line No. 10 to storage battery and connecting line No. 12 to the Liquid Oxygen tank, as electrical power and the Liquid Oxygen converge into the Ion jet equals a thrustout and high speeds will take place L.O. represents Liquid Oxygen storage tank  (m) All the control switches for all the different components of said propulsion system are to be placed on the control panel of said plane or vehicle and the control throttle for the steam control Line #13 connecting controls to the storage battery.
