A new all-electric drone is silent. And it uses ion propulsion?

This reads like perpetual motion machines stuff. And I thought ions in the air cause smog, thunderstorms, and can be detected as a blue glow (think ozone and the staple of SF movies). It’s like when stealth aircraft came out…. “Nope, that plane we see isn’t there cuz there’s no radar return. Nope nope nope.”<p>Although it would be neat to see something quietly crossing the countryside throwing off lightening bolts. Very Doctor Who.
