This text is made because on new Star Wars movie, where Jedi-warrior or knights fight together like they would be above or separated another galactic conflict what is created by George Lucas. But do you know that there have been real groups of futurologists who imagine how that equipment of that film could work? Those people created a model of example TIE-fighter, and that small fighter what is used by imperial Starfleet would work without own power source. The fighter itself uses magneto dynamic- drive known as WARP, what is integrated it wings what seems like solar panels.
Those engineers thought that those panels would be radio antennas where Starfleet sends high power radio-transmissions, what uses that fighter system. So that high power radio transmission will work like Tesla's wireless power transmission through air. That kind of things could be possible in tomorrow when we can build enough energy to operate aircraft and satellites by radio waves what will send from Earth. External power systems are tested in real life when laser systems will be used to push some small craft through the air, and method what is used is simple. The laser hits the craft and heats air below it when it rises that object to air.

Those laser propelled spacecraft can reach Mars in 3 days. The power of that kind of laser would be very huge, and if that kind of system what NASA might want to use with spacecraft is like NOVA-laser. The most powerful laser in the world, but if they just want to launch objects to orbiter the only needed system is a naval laser gun. With that system is possible to launch miniature satellites to the orbital trajectory. Satellite what will launch with laser system must be equipped with a great structure like a kite because heat will rises extremely hot, and a laser is easier to aim to big but thin target. If that targets surface area is big, will heat split to a larger area and it allows to use a laser to push it to trajectory without fear of overheating.

Laser might also use to push satellites upwards in their trajectory and that will increase the life of low earth orbiting satellite because they must not use their rocket motors for that maneuver. If that spacecraft uses internal electric generators and turbines or small nuclear reactors the laser system could target to carbon fiber cones, what heats very high temperature. After that, those systems might flight in deep space or fly without voice above some area. If there is motor jet tubes circular formation around that vehicle that will allow making that thing able to fly in any way where it needs to change its course with very high surprise effect.
That model you will see from the second link or click this. Another way to use external power is point laser to some airplane, where it heats very cold gas or liquid substance what might be water or some other liquid what creates steam while heating. The steam what comes out from the jet tube will work like conventional rocket or jet engine. Another way to use that wireless power transmission is to point radio MASER to some propel aircraft what is equipped with an electric engine. That transmission will put electric motors work, and that kind of system allows small drones like "Kormoran" and "Aquila" to work even years, and that operation will look like that those drones are circulating around those power systems.
Or if those systems use more power they could supply energy to bigger RPV:s like "Predator", but the problem with extremely powerful radio signals is that it could damage electronics and harm birds if they create the electric arc in the air. That makes them easier to modification as a weapon, and EMP cannon is probably an extremely powerful radar, what sends very powerful radio signals through the air. That kind of stuff works like some EMP-wave what is created with nuclear weapons.
