Hi,
what about combining conventional GFS propulsion with lifter
propulsion? One could put +Hv on the streamlined body and -HV on the
hull, maybe just to decrease drag.
Just an idea :-)

There are different means for generating an asymmetrical flow with a GDP skin, this has already been fully tested by the Industrial Plasma Engineering Group of the UTK Plasma Sciences Laboratory :
- A simple OAUGDP panel which uses only the paraelectric body forces, this gives an acceleration of the fluid, up to 10 m/s,
- An EHD plasma convection driven by DC ion mobility drift, this gives an acceleration of the fluid, up to 100 m/s,
- A peristaltic EHD plasma acceleration which gives an acceleration of the fluid, up to 480 m/s....
For more informations you may read the paper 6P-67"Electrodynamically induced airflow in one atmosphere uniform glow discharge surface plasma" by J. Reece Roth, presented at the 25th IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science ( June 1-4, 1998, Raleigh, North Carolina )
Today in need to build up a good and skilled team in RC UAV design to go forward in this field of research...
