thinking more about the efficiency, for an actual aircraft the haunebu design makes perfect sense
-you want the + electrode to be big so it creates lots of ions
-a dome is the best design if the electrode is placed on the top (and forms the head of the aircraft)
-the top placement and the dome design of the + electrode and the skirt bending downwards will create such an electromagnetic field that will bend downwards, it efficiently pushed the ions downwards and creates most thrust
-and of course the circular skirt to spread the ions evenly around the whole ship
