• Successful integration of wing and ionic thruster concepts.

• Year-long optimization journey for an ionic thruster for �ight.

• Competitive innovation sparked by transatlantic collaboration with fellow creator, Joel.

• Initial designs: BSI thruster led to competition with Joel's high-performance ionic
thruster.

• BSI Mark II developed to improve performance.

• Goal: Design a no-moving-part ionic thrust airplane by minimizing weight and


components.

• Ideas stemmed from watching Blue Angels; modern �ghter jets are essentially jet
engines with wings.
• Proposed integrating ionic thrust into a glider frame for testing.

• Consulted with a creator experienced in unconventional aircraft designs.

• Focus on creating a large, slow-moving wing with a low wing loading and high aspect
ratio.
• Initial 12 cm wing section designed with multiple airfoils.

• : Tested various gaps between ionic thrust segments.

• 9 mm gap: 0.4 m/s (weak)

• 11 mm gap: 0.5 m/s (better)

• 13 mm gap: 0.6 m/s (not su�cient)

• : Grounded components redesigned to improve air�ow.

• New design showed signi�cant improvement, achieving 1.5 m/s initially.

• Further modi�cations led to the use of streamlined aluminum tubing, enhancing thrust
velocity.

• Max velocity reached 4 m/s after optimizing the setup and testing air�ow.

• Initial design weighed 200 grams; redesigned to 130 grams (33% reduction).

• Further modi�cations reduced the airfoil weight to 45 grams.

• New prototype total weight: 100 grams (50% reduction).

• Developed a mechanism to measure thrust and velocity during tests.

• Wing segment reached just under 60 rpm, translating to a linear speed of 2 m/s.

• Estimated thrust calculated at 44 grams.

• Potential improvements: Higher current power source, replacing razor blades with wire.

• Aim to build a full ionic thrust wing for further exploration.

• The project presents possibilities for a new era of �ight with solid-state airplanes.

• Encouraged viewer feedback and subscription for updates on future developments.
