This disclosure generally relates to a hybrid solid-state propulsion system for aerial vehicles which includes a thermoelectric generator. The thermoelectric generator includes a first heat exchanger disposed within an exhaust duct of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The thermoelectric generator further includes a first ceramic layer disposed on the first heat exchanger and a first and second metal tab bonded to the first ceramic layer. The thermoelectric generator further includes a second metal tab bonded to a second ceramic layer. At least one N-type thermoelectric leg is disposed between the first metal tab bonded to the first ceramic layer and the metal tab bonded to the second ceramic layer. Further, at least one P-type thermoelectric leg is disposed between the second metal tab bonded to the first ceramic layer and the metal tab bonded to the second ceramic layer.
