Empirical Study of Ground Proximity Effects for Small-scale Electroaerodynamic Thrusters

ICRA 2024poster

Electroaerodynamic (EAD) propulsion, where thrust is produced by collisions between electrostatically-accelerated ions and neutral air, is a potentially transformative method for indoor flight owing to its silent and solid-state nature. Like rotors, EAD thrusters exhibit changes in performance based…

High Aspect Ratio Multi-Stage Ducted Electroaerodynamic Thrusters for Micro Air Vehicle Propulsion

RA-L 2024

Electroaerodynamic propulsion, where force is produced through collisions between electrostatically accelerated ions and neutral air molecules, is an attractive alternative to propeller- and flapping wing-based methods for micro air vehicle (MAV) flight due to its silent and solid-state nature. One
