Pulsar Fusion Sunbird is a cutting-edge propulsion innovation using the Dual Direct Fusion Drive (DDFD) system.
This advanced propulsion system delivers an extremely high specific impulse (10,000–15,000 seconds) and generates 2 megawatts of power, pushing the boundaries of space travel.
The DDFD is a compact nuclear fusion engine that provides both thrust and electrical power for spacecraft. This breakthrough technology could allow fast, efficient travel across the solar system, carrying heavier payloads with much less fuel.

It’s clear that this system is very promising as an intersolar propulsion system. It’s also important to note that it will be mounted on a starship. What’s not known is whether it’s possible to ignite the rocket; that would be very interesting to see.
