When I was 15 I started coding, sketching and writing scripts. Then it came up to me like some concept of hybrid space propulsion. Ikarus-X started in this way, and Ikarus-Y represents a pioneering concept in advanced SSTO spacecraft design. The initial plan, putting an electric bypass section in the original Ikarus-X BLDC propellers, was too energy demanding. In response, I am spearheading the development of a revolutionary new engine under the moniker "Project Laserfan". A groundbreaking aircraft, built upon the framework of Ikarus-Y, will serve as the testbed for this innovative system.
