Advances in electroaerodynamic thrusters for aircraft propulsion
An electroaerodynamic (EAD) thruster is a propulsion system for small aircraft that is mechanically simple, has no moving parts, and is nearly silent. EAD thrusters produce ions from atmospheric air and accelerate the ions across two electrodes separated by an air gap: collisions of ions with neutra...
