In the future, cars could be fitted with thrusters to boost both performance and safety.

recently learned that Ferrari has designed a system using thrusters to enhance performance of a road vehicle , and has filed a patent for the system.

In its patents, Ferrari refers to the thrusters as “pushers,” and describes two types. One uses compressed air stored in a tank on board the vehicle, while another uses small pulse jets powered by the same fuel powering the car's regular engine. The idea is that the pulse jets would be used when there's insufficient compressed air, which incidentally needs to be stored at 10,000-13,000 psi, according to the patents.
