Meet AETHRA-E...a drone without rotors or wings. Slot microjets embedded in the hull vector a continuous thrust sheet to lift, steer, and stabilize. Edge-blown monocoque: the airframe itself becomes the nozzle. Just shaped thrust. No props. No wings.
The mathematical framework of the physics and control system of the drone concept. The piecewise functions for the hull/fuselage are too lengthy to share here.
Motivation of this concept:"Does anyone else feel like maybe we held ourselves back 100 years in flight technology by copying birds?
Winged flight is such a narrow aeronautical pursuit!"
