Coherent Resonant Aneutronic Torsion-Plasma Drive (CRATP-Drive): A Refined Framework for Stable Subluminal Interstellar Propulsion

Abstract

The Coherent Resonant Aneutronic Torsion-Plasma (CRATP) Drive advances the Resonant Aneutronic Torsion-Plasma (RATP) system by incorporating a Quantum Resonance Feedback System (QRFS) to achieve near-zero warp field instability. This fifth-generation propulsion concept utilizes a p-¹¹B aneutronic fusion core, coherent plasma resonance, and quantum-entangled sensors for real-time metric stabilization, enabling sustained velocities up to 0.96c without exotic matter. Simulations confirm superior efficiency and stability, projecting a Proxima Centauri mission in 4.42 Earth years with 1.24 years ship proper time. Building on established fusion and warp theories, the CRATP offers a feasible pathway to crewed interstellar travel by 2070-2100, contingent on quantum sensor and materials advancements.
