Giuseppe Calió, a PhD student at Politecnico di Milano in the Department of Mathematics (DMAT), and Fabio Ragazzi, a PhD student at Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna, both members of the IPROP research team, participated in the 27th International Plasma...
A novel design technique for airships featuring ion-thrusters has been presented at the 34th Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences conference #ICAS2024, by IPROP project team at PoliMi-DAER. Prof. Carlo E.D. Riboldi, prof. Stefano Cacciola...
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...
