Ion-Propelled Aircraft
Aircraft propelled by ion wind instead of engines or propellers
Ion-propelled aircraft use electrohydrodynamic (EHD) thrust—ion wind—for propulsion. Research, development, prototypes. Benefits: silent, no moving parts. Challenges include thrust density and scaling. Applications: efficient propulsion in air.
