Non Powered Flight. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” — a silent but mighty flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight. They often flew these aircraft as kites to determine and verify aircraft performance. The new type of aircraft could usher in silent drones and perhaps far. The brothers used these aircraft to learn the basics of aerodynamics and flight control. The inaugural flight was made possible by a process known as electroaerodynamic propulsion, an idea that has been around since the 1960s. At the end of 1902, the wright brothers were the two most experienced glider pilots in the world. Nearly 115 years later, another type of plane has taken flight as quiet as a ghost, without a single moving part. The stage was now set for the development of powered aircraft. The brothers also learned how to fly by using these unpowered aircraft over 1000 times as piloted gliders.
