Methods and systems for propelling an air vehicle with a molten salt reactor, a first heat exchanger, and a second heat exchanger are disclosed. A hot liquid molten salt from the molten salt reactor heats a fluid in the first heat exchanger to produce a hot fluid. The hot fluid heats air in the second heat exchanger to produce heated air which passes through a nozzle to propel the air vehicle.
