A motor (more-broadly, induction device) is based around stacked rotor and stator boards rather than coils. The advance is analogous to using circuit boards rather than wires. Distinct advantages exist when the circuit board motor embodiment is combined with a novel open-burner combustor to form a hybrid electric-fuel jet engine (a culmination of three embodiments). The preferred application of the hybrid fuel-electric engine is in highly efficient (high lift-to-drag) aircraft utilizing towed platforms having high surfaces areas for both generating lift and collecting solar energy. The final combination yields advantages for an aerial platform towed via a front hinge joint that enables both vertical takeoff/landing and advantageous failsafe landing options. The aircraft is preferably powered by the hybrid electric-fuel jet engine.
