An air-breathing beamed energy propulsion rocket, "Microwave Rocket" has been proposed as a low cost launch system. The rocket is driven by a microwave beam radiated from the ground. Atmospheric air is used as a propellant in the pulsed engine. In order to improve its thrust performance, an air-breathing mechanism using reed values is under development. Ambient air is taken into the thruster through the reed valves. The air flow rate through the reed valves was computed and an air-breathing performance was evaluated in term of Partial Filling Rate, PFR. As a result, a 10 to 15-fold increase in thrust is predicted compared with the case without reed valves.
