POPSIonised air to power flying saucers They're still testing, and when they discovered the principle, they thought it was anti gravity, but it turned out to be dependent on the earth's magnetic field. Sounds like a far more efficient way of flying than aircraft fuel. They might take a while to learn how to steer it. I wonder how many passengers they'll hold. Spinning around sounds bad for airsickness, and in flight meals.

POPSProfessor Designs Plasma-propelled Flying Saucer The force created by passing an electrical current through this plasma pushes around the surrounding air, and that swirling air creates lift and momentum and provides stability against wind gusts. In order to maximize the area of contact between air and vehicle, Roy’s design is partially hollow and continuously curved, like an electromagnetic flying bundt pan. One of the most revolutionary aspects of Roy’s use of magnetohydrodynamics is that the vehicle will have no moving parts. The lack of traditional mechanical aircraft parts, such as propellers or jet engines, should provide tremendous reliability, Roy said. Such a design also will allow the WEAV to hover and take off vertically.
