Embodiments disclosed herein relate to electroaerodynamic (EAD) thrusters for use in thrust generation. An EAD thruster may include one or more ion sources, one or more ion collectors, and one or more airfoils. In some embodiments, the one or more of the one or more ion sources and/or ion collectors may be integrated into a surface of the one or more airfoils. The EAD thruster arrangement may also include multiple EAD stages in some embodiments.
