Towards Practical Fixed-Wing Aircraft with Electroaerodynamic Propulsion

Electroaerodynamic (EAD) propulsion is a novel means of generating thrust via collisions between ions and neutral molecules. EAD thrusters have no moving parts, and are therefore almost silent; they may therefore be useful for aircraft propulsion in applications where silence is valuable. Previous r...
