Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic flow generation systems are widely investigated in aerodynamic application due their high reliability, simplicity and effectiveness. This paper describes a heavier-than-air non-aerodynamic aircraft on the basis of in-atmosphere electrohydrodynamic propulsion system with wireless power system onboard. Inspired by the fundamental knowledge of air propulsion principles, we numerically and then on a prototype demonstrated the possibility of creating such a device. It is achieved by a combination of the ionocraft airframe composed of symmetric drop-shaped collectors carrying a part of the mechanical load and the developed wireless power source with a high power density per unit mass.
