Here is what the page “Could a 'Flying' Tesla Roadster Be Real? Lockheed Martin's Decades-Old Thruster Tech Says ” contains. Elon Musk's claim that the upcoming Tesla Roadster will use SpaceX cold gas thrusters to 'fly' has drawn skepticism, but the underlying technology isn't new. Lockheed Martin has used similar thrusters for decades, most notably on the Homing Overlay Experiment (HOE) in the 1980s. That experimental interceptor, designed to destroy ballistic missiles, used 116 small rocket thrusters to maneuver in space and flip itself with precision. The same physics could theoretically lift or stabilize a car, though the energy and safety challenges are enormous.
If Tesla can miniaturize and safely package such thrusters, the Roadster could achieve unprecedented acceleration and even brief hops. But regulatory and practical hurdles remain. The real question is whether Musk can turn a missile-defense concept into a consumer product. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
