Today I have updated my web site about the ARDA Project.
I have conducted some tests about the new Glow Discharge Plasma Skin which
will be used in the future ARDA Wing designs.
The purpose of this preliminary test is to check if a Glow Discharge Plasma
Skin is able to generate a thrusting effect. This is a first step towards a
design of the full scale GDP Wing profile used in an ARDA Flying wing. In a
future design the wing profile will be covered by an uniform cold plasma
(OAUGDP) generated by a glow discharge at high voltage and at high frequency.
A kind of GDP skin has already been successfully tested at the NASA Langley
Research Center by Roth and Wilkinson and a full report has been presented
during the 36th Aerospace Sciences Meeting in Reno (January 1998).
You will find all pictures, diagrams and video about the GDP Skin tests at :
