An electrostatic propulsion (ESP) system to be used on the fuselage of an aircraft. Wherein the system comprises an ESP layer that covers at least a portion of the top surface of the fuselage 20, configured to generate a layer of plasma over the fuselage and accelerate the plasma to produce propulsion. Further, the system comprises one or more ducts 60 coupled to the undercarriage of the fuselage, wherein each duct comprises an ESP layer that covers at least a portion of the inside of each duct. Wherein said duct increases the propulsion produced by the aircraft. And wherein the ducts increase the amount of airflow underneath the fuselage to counteract the downward drag caused by the airflow generated by the ESP layer on the upper surface of the fuselage.
