Ion Propelled Aircraft: No Moving Parts in the Propulsion System
About this ebook
An aircraft that does not need combustion or moving components to create lift or propulsion in the air is known as an ion-propelled aircraft or an ionocraft. This kind of aircraft employs electrohydrodynamics, often known as EHD. The designs that are currently in use do not create enough thrust to support human flight or practical loads.
