Description

In a not so distant future, thousands of drones in every city buzz like bees across roads and parks, without a care in the world as to how annoying they are. We at Ionic Skies are developing a new type of aircraft that will completely solve this inevitable problem. Our aircraft uses a unique method of propulsion called Ionic Wind, which is completely silent and has ZERO moving parts. Our breakthrough box shaped airframe has wings that also function as ionic thrusters. This highly optimized design results in a 10x improvement in range from the first ionic wind airplane, built two years ago. We’re currently building and testing a prototype with a 5 meter wingspan that only weighs 2 kilograms.
