The IPROP project has been featured in the 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 of APRE Magazine, thanks to the collaboration with Fondazione Politecnico di Milano.

The Politecnico of Milano Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DAER), latest experimental campaign, within the IPROP project, focuses on optimizing EAD thrusters by testing nonuniform emitter arrangements.

A novel design technique, where an airship featuring ion-plasma thrusters is sized for a low-altitude demonstration mission has been published on ICAS 2024 “34th Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences conference” proceedings.

The IPROP project has been prominently featured on the DEEPSYNC platform, a collaborative initiative under the #EICCommunities program. DEEPSYNC is designed to unite innovators, policymakers, investors, and EU citizens, fostering meaningful dialogue and cooperation around groundbreaking research and innovation projects.

Interesting progress has been made on the IPROP project in 2024, pushing the boundaries of ionic thruster technology for atmospheric and stratospheric applications. Here the project achievements so far:

The IPROP project recently marked a milestone with a partner meeting hosted by the CNRS collaborators. Over two days, participants reviewed progress achieved in the first year of project implementation under the coordination of Prof. Marco Belan from Politecnico di Milano’s Department of Aerospace Science and Technology.
