Where’s the patent that shows how they plan on converting fusion energy to thrust?

I remember wondering about that back when they were talking about fission poowered planes. I was just a kid then but I understood about where thrust comes from.

Electric motors driving propellers would probably work the best; although steam turbines with shafts and gears might theoretically work, but with a hefty weight penalty.

Patent?

Once the container for an ongoing nuclear blast is patented, it won’t take much of a pinhole to provide all the thrust needed!
