  • In this video we will be looking at Jetoptera's Bladeless Propulsion System that utilizes fluid induction.
    There are several advantages of doing this specially in conjunction with boxwings.
    At present Fluidics propulsion system will utilize GE aviation gas turbine but it can use an electric turbine as well.

      another thing to look into is how large ships also pump air under themselves to reduce drag, could be really interesting
      Also for a kayak you could probably test it with a 3d-printed set of parts, would love to see that become a reality

    I watched that other guy market his "flying car" for a few decades. I always laughed at it because it was basically a helicopter. This design is actually innovative and gives me cause for optimism. I wouldn't call it a "flying car" because it doesn't look at all suitable for driving around town. But as a door-to-door mode of long-distance travel it looks to be phenomenal. It would give me the ability to randomly visit family 900 miles away without the need for planning, taking time off work, or dealing with airports.

    This same principle is used by some camping beds and beach couches where you gently blow into the inflation tube which is specially designed to multiply the air, and it blows up the whole couch.
    Your breath creates a pressure difference and a flow which pulls in the surrounding air to fill the entire thing with very few breaths. Pretty cool.
    That’s just a simple way to see this principle in action with your hands and your own breath. It’s pretty magical when b you see it work! One breath and the bed is almost full! It’s pretty crazy… science is awesome

    One huge advantage of this concept for application to flying cars and urban air mobility is the lack of exposed rotors/propellers.

      The model at least seems to be flight worthy. And there are already aircraft using the exact same transition method, albeit with classic jet or prop engines. It really only depends on being able to generate enough forward thrust to reach sufficient aerodynamic lift through airspeed before losing vertical lifting capabilities.

    If this works its brilliant because it is so counter-intuitive. You're pushing the airplane with moving air whose kinetic energy is its mass times the square of its velocity, so higher exhaust velocity means more push per kilogram of air expelled. Surprising it can entrain enough air to overcome this plus friction drag in the duct.

    I tried to get an engine builder to test this type of air flow inducing system to replace turbos for a car engine. Basically the air flow system would suck the exhaust out of the cylinder by placing a low pressure area at the exhaust valve. Instead of pushing air into the cylinder, one would be pulling air in. He thought I was not worth the time unless I had $4000.00 a day for him to test the concept. Since I did not, nothing was ever done.

    This is interesting but does the distribution of energy accomplish the work needed from the turbine? The Dyson fan uses an internal electric fan to drag more air through the venturi in order to cool a room. I don't know if the Dyson design takes less energy to do the same work as compared to a traditional fan. Does the Jetoptera use less energy than a traditional jet aircraft to do the same work? Is it advantageous at this time?

      Firstly, risk assessment and risk avoidance are fundamentally the same, they avoid unnecessary risk. Secondly, there's no reason for safety to not progress on the principal of clinging to obsolete tradition.
      You're welcome to stay in the past if you want to, that comes at the expense of innovation and progress. The rest of the world will be just fine moving on without you.
      It's always weird to see someone who would rather kneecap themselves over tradition that has little to no value. Pride is a strange thing.
