I think there may have been some misquoting here. This is intended for in atmosphere use only. Nowhere can I find that this is intended to be a fuel less craft. Also, at best is more likely to lead to improvements in control surfaces than to an actual flying craft. I did a little quick web search on Subrata Roy.

Me thinks this poster was just no good at getting the real information about this craft and it's designers intended ideas. Please, someone remove this crap before it gets reposted anywhere else as true and complete. “matter/anti-matter reactor”

If we can somehow tap into that in the future we should be able to fly anywhere." This would require Nuclear Reactor-type energy sources if you ever wanted it to work in our atmosphere. And even then, it would not produce significant forces. Certainly not enough to lift an aircraft payload. The energy required to both create a plasma field (my guess by the shape of the ship it would be a toroid) and alter it enough to produce a force to overcome gravity would be unimaginable. And to store the power cell on-board?? It would need a matter/anti-matter reactor. If you had that much energy available, shit, there would be better ways to get around. This is like saying, "We could fly to the other end of the universe! If only we could go through a wormhole". The devil is in the details! “…and plasma is the most abundant form of matter in the universe. If we can somehow tap into that in the future we should be able to fly anywhere.”
