What engines would an airborne vehicle use in a setting <200 years in the future?

In a setting <200 years in the future could airborne military vehicles(fighter-jets), mass-transportation vehicles (planes, buses etc.), and personal vehicles (cars, motorcycles) use something like an ion-engine as a viable main-engine for transportation?

The vehicles should only travel inside the planets atmosphere, if at all only planes and jets should be able travel outside of it and go to space but not interplanetary-space.

Could <200 years from now be a long enough time for personal vehicles to be airborne and ion-engines or a new engine to be developed for (very)low fuel consumption, good acceleration (like equivalent vehicles today or better, (very)long range and very low pollution?
If it would be a new engine, what kind of fuel would it be using?
