Research abstract
Wildspark Technologies is developing a novel propulsion technology for UAVs. This technology produces thrust without propellers or other moving parts. This reduces its noise signature and eliminates the possibility for propeller contact injuries. The technology introduces the ability to vector thrust in arbitrary directions which will increase agility and allow for new form factors unconstrained by design factors inherent with propellers and conventional control surfaces.
