About this episode
Interesting Things with JC #1646: "Electrostatic Propulsion" – A fixed-wing aircraft flies with no propeller, no combustion, and no exhaust while electric fields push ionized air across its wings; the same thrust pattern is already moving spacecraft through vacuum and spreading into quiet drones, high-altitude platforms, and long-duration electric space missions.
