The engine cleaning the world: a Turkish signature changing the game in aviation
Sümeyye Yalçın, Dec. 17 (Hibya) – A new engine technology that carries no fuel, produces no emissions, and can stay airborne for days is expanding from Türkiye to the world.
A new engine technology that carries no fuel, produces no emissions, and can remain airborne for days is expanding from Türkiye to the world. Senior Design Engineer İsmail Berber said he has developed a next-generation engine technology set to upend established norms in aviation, defense, energy, and space.
Called the “Plasma-Converted Jet Engine Generator Thrust System,” the technology differs fundamentally from conventional jet and rocket engines. Unlike traditional systems, it does not require fuel tanks and operates by harvesting energy from molecules in the atmosphere.

This reportedly enables aircraft to fly continuously for 70 to 100 hours, and instead of generating emissions, it filters harmful gases and returns clean components to the atmosphere. The system described by Berber runs on plasma and electromagnetic propulsion principles. With mechanical contact nearly eliminated, it offers a lighter, more efficient, and safer engine architecture.

The technology is seen not only as a propulsion system but as a multipurpose platform capable of providing energy generation, storage, and space life-support solutions. The new engine is expected to be usable in unmanned aerial vehicles, missile systems, ships, urban transportation, power plants, and space platforms.

The near elimination of noise, maintenance, and fuel costs suggests the technology could also drive transformation in civilian life. According to Berber, the project is not just a technical innovation but a strategic step that could position Türkiye as a global technology developer and licensing provider.

Closely watched by international circles, the work is being seen as a harbinger of a new era in aviation.
