Wingless Electromagnetic Air Vehicle

Concept of the Wingless Electromagnetic Air vehicle (WEAV)

We propose a vehicle which employs no moving parts and assures near instanteous response time with 360 deg maneuverability.

Goal: Fundamental development in the plasma based flow actuation using atmospheric medium: (a) to improve at least an order of magnitude in thrust generation; (b) to improve at least an order of magnitude in power/weight ratio.
