Subrata Roy, a scientist at the University of Florida, calls his aircraft a "wingless electromagnetic air vehicle," or WEAV, and if it flies he says it could usher in a new age of aircraft design.
The "wingless electromagnetic air vehicle," or WEAV, is illustrated in flight here. The craft works by a series of electrodes that ionize the surrounding air.
