Abstract
Various solid-state energy conversion concepts under development by the U.S. Air Force are discussed from the standpoint of present capabilities to satisfy aerospace vehicle electric-power needs. Performance possibilities based on completely developed concepts are estimated. Energy sources considered are solar, nuclear chemical, and acoustic, with emphasis on solar and nuclear
