    Amazing, I thought Ion Propulsion was more a space flight sort of thing.

    Now I just need 1500kg of vertical Ion thrust and I'll turn my Lightweight into a Hover-Landy

    I dont think we will see a commercial flight anytime soon, a fly weight craft in a controlled environment is a long way from the real world.
