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.

Setting the Story Straight on AI
In the movie Ex Machina (2014), a technologist creates a robot that is so lifelike and self-aware that she can pass for human. When her inventor tasks a young programmer with testing the limits of her capabilities, she surprises both men with her capacity for creativity and deception.
While this makes for an entertaining storyline, the reality is that we’re still a long way from seeing robots of any real sophistication when it comes to true artificial intelligence (AI). Articles in newspapers and on media sites would have you think otherwise, often positioning robots, machine learning systems, and even algorithms as different types of AI.
However, while these kinds of systems are developed while working on AI research and development, they don’t display any real intelligence.
