Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd like to suggest a new thruster type. I would like to see an Ionic Ring thruster which would be a ring multiblock, (maybe a square kind of ring shape, it depends). It would be a bigger type of thruster that works only in the atmosphere that's powered by electricity, it would fill a similar niche to the space engineers atmospheric thruster.

Describe the solution you'd like

In real life, these purely electric thrusters with no moving parts are referred to as Ionic Thrusters. There are variants for this kind of thruster in the atmosphere. A difference in charge is positioned between a gap, and energy flows between that gap which pulls air along with it. In my opinion it is an interesting form of thruster that fills in a gap in the thruster types. It would be less powerful than a hydrogen thruster but more powerful than an ion thruster.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternatives to this could be jet engines that heat up inside, increasing pressure and producing thrust, those would be closer to the ones from space engineers.
