Flying MHD Generator
Plasma orbs are essentially flying MHD generators that use motion through air to create plasma compression and generate electrical power
Virtual Aircraft Design
Proposes that high-speed aircraft should modify the aerodynamic environment around the craft rather than modifying the aircraft structure to withstand conditions
