Plasma has some awesome aero benefits....

A large portion of drag is a result of a no slip condition in the boundary layer... But, if we produce plasma at the boundary layer, we get rid of this no slip condition resulting in a very slippery body...

That's right.. I brought it back to aero

The price sure differs
