Eric--
I think that the first step is to marry the reactor to an existing jet engine
that could operate without the LENR boost. Once the reliability of the LENR is
established then the technology could evolve into a LENR only power source.
The redundancy would be desirable from a safety standpoint.

It seems odd that they would work toward enhancing a jet engine instead of
producing the power plant directly. Why carry the jet fuel along if you can
make sufficient power to keep the air craft in the sky for an indefinite amount
of time using LENR? Do you see an advantage to their approach?
It is interesting to consider the following -- get LENR going in nickel and
ramp the reaction up to a high temperature. Now blow hydrogen and oxygen over
it. Perhaps the resulting hydrogen torch will provide some thrust. In
addition, some of the hydrogen might go to feed back into the LENR reaction,
and perhaps you'll also get thrust from the resulting H2O vapor.
