Jun 9, 2023 SEATTLE Ionic thrust has massive potential to change how we look at propulsion. We've used ion engines for spaceflight, and have started applying ionic thrust towards Airflight. I argue, it's time to turn our eyes to the ocean, and quiet down rock concert we've turned the ocean into. The greatest strength of ionic thrust, may be its silence. So, we built a TIE catamaran, straight from the Dark Side.
