The first aeroplane propelled by ionic wind
Researchers used high-voltage electrodes to ionize air and accelerate it, the resulting ionic wind produces a thrust force in the opposite direction to ion flow. In the future, the concept could be used to power cleaner and quieter aeroplanes. Credits: Research: Flight of an aeroplane with solid-state propulsion Haofeng Xu, Yiou He, Kieran L. Strob
