The idea of that kind of craft is that the ionized air will pull between wings. And that airflow forms buoyancy. The MIT design might seem very peaceful. That kind of airborne system where is no moving parts can use to make new radical miniature aerial vehicles. And the same system can also use in miniature underwater concepts. The thing is that new multi-use and sophisticated systems can also fly.
The ion systems can also use in new powerful V/STOL (Vertical/ Short Take-Off and Landing) technology. In that case, the aircraft can have antennas or mushes that ionize the air. Then the magnetic systems can pull that ionized airflow below wings and make the aircraft rise from the ground. The ion-based technology makes the airflow that rises aircraft.
The ion-based systems can also use for aircraft action systems. The ionized gas that comes behind the aircraft can blind other aircraft and destroy the electronics of the missiles. But the ion engines are making it possible to create new and powerful hypersonic aircraft.
The same technology can use to make ion engine-driven hypersonic aircraft. In the hypersonic systems, the air channels that are equipped with magnetic accelerators will make through the wings in the horizontal direction. The speed of those ions depends on the power of electricity in those channels.
The aircraft ionizes the air at the front of the air channel. And then the acceleration track will be accelerating the ionized air. The difference between this concept and electric jet engines is that. There are no moving parts in an engine. That means there is no problem with rotating turbines.
This technology can connect with electric jet engines very easily. The compressor face of the turbine can close when the aircraft speed turns too high. And then the air will flow in the acceleration track around the turbine. Or the turbines and turbogenerators can be in the body of aircraft. And in that case, those systems are delivering electricity to the separated magnetic accelerators.
This kind of system can connect with solar panels and RAT (Rapid Air Turbine systems) and even nuclear reactors or remote energy transmit systems. That means the system can collect energy from many places. And that thing makes them multi-use and economic.
