An atmospheric EHD thruster has been tested in a wind tunnel by the PoliMi laboratory group of the IPROP project, simulating low speed flight conditions and comparing the measurements with a theoretical model. The results, on top of validating the theory, show an...
In a recently published journal paper on MDPI Aerospace, the IPROP team at DAER-PoliMi has presented a design methodology for including ion-plasma thrusters on large stratospheric airships. Among the features of this technique is an accurate employment of the...
The annual meeting of U-LTA, an international association dedicated to coordinating industry and research in the development of new applications for airships (Upscaling Lighter-Than-Air, U-LTA), of which DAER is an active member, was held on May 21, 2024 at the...
