Engineers fly first-ever plane with no moving parts
Since the first airplane took flight over 100 years ago, virtually every aircraft in the sky has flown with the help of moving parts such as propellers, turbine blades, and fans, which are powered by the combustion of fossil fuels or by battery packs that produce a persistent, whining buzz.

Now MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts. 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.
Unlike turbine-powered planes, the aircraft does not depend on fossil fuels to fly. And unlike propeller-driven drones, the new design is completely silent.
“This is the first-ever sustained flight of a plane with no moving parts in the propulsion system,” says Steven Barrett, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. “This has potentially opened new and unexplored possibilities for aircraft which are quieter, mechanically simpler, and do not emit combustion emissions.”
He expects that in the near-term, such ion wind propulsion systems could be used to fly less noisy drones. Further out, he envisions ion propulsion paired with more conventional combustion systems to create more fuel-efficient, hybrid passenger planes and other large aircraft.
Barrett and his team at MIT have published their results in the journal Nature.

Shout out
To all the sex workers who aren’t getting the sales they deserve. To the ones who feel like shit and don’t even want to eat breakfast but still put on make up and take cute sexy “good morning selfies”. To those trying so hard to push out content but just feel to flat to do it because there is little motivation. To those dealing with self esteem issues because other “prettier” Sw’s are getting sales (you are beautiful!). To those dealing with issues because all the followers they get are empty blogs or porn blogs. To those who question what they are doing wrong because no one sends them asks or messages anymore like they use to. To the ones who deal with anon hate for no reason other then existing on the internet. And lastly, Shout out to the men who took the time to actually read this and get a small insight to just a few struggles SW’s deal with daily, and to the men who actually reblog more then just T&A.
