are you proposing heating via electric resistance? I think we just invented the flying toaster! 🙂

No. A 5MW Focus fusion generator, operating at 50% efficiency, will generate 5MW heat. Use that in your “jet” engine.
If FF gets too efficient I think we can add microwave heating with oxygen or nitrogen resonant frequency.
