This is fascinating ~
The first ever “solid state” plane, with no moving parts in its propulsion system, has successfully flown for a distance of 60 metres ...
The flight represents a breakthrough in “ionic wind” technology, which uses a powerful electric field to generate charged nitrogen ions, which are then expelled from the back of the aircraft, generating thrust.
