I've been reading up on plasma flow control, which is pretty fascinating. It looks like there are some near-term opportunities for plasma flow control on commercial airplanes (on the leading edge of wings) to improve efficiency. It also has potential to produce quieter drones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_actuator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_actuator Finally, I'm particularly interested in the use of large-volume plasma-based propulsion in airships. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/825/1/012005 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/825/1/0...
