[edit] Scientific reputation
Petit is a pioneer in magnetohydrodynamics. He started to work on this subject in the 1960s.
Petit has lost respect from a part of the scientific community because of the controversial claims he has made on several controversial topics. He claims that aliens from Ummo have sent letters to selected people, including himself.[1] He contends that the US Air Force now has incredibly fast aircraft, Aurora, due to secretly conducted research on magnetohydrodynamics. Aurora would use a conventional turbofan propulsion system, fed by a MHD controlled hypersonic air inlet.[1] And he claims that the US military has a powerful antimatter bomb that they successfully detonated on planet Jupiter.[1] Because of these views, he is not taken seriously by many French scientists.[citation needed]
