This paper summaries the characteristics of in‐tube propulsion powered by laser energy. The thrust is enhanced due to confinement effect in a tube. This method has a large payload capability because the propellant does not need to be on board. Also, this has various advantages on application aspects. The performance and impulse production mechanisms are discussed based on results of laboratory experiments using 500‐W lasers.
