This article describes an experimental investigation of the aerodynamic interaction that
occurs between distributed propellers in forward flight. To this end, three propellers were …

From small drones to large Urban Air Mobility vehicles, the market of vertical take-off and
landing (VTOL) aircraft is currently booming. Modern VTOL designs feature a variety of …

Turbomachinery design is increasingly carried out by means of automated workflows based
on high-fidelity physical models and optimization algorithms. The parametrization of the …

Performance evaluations for propellers operating at high altitudes are subject to increased
uncertainty due to scarce experimental or flight data and difficulties in modeling low …

The goal of this study is to analyze how the aeropropulsive benefits of an over-the-wing
distributed-propulsion (OTWDP) system at the component level translate into an …

This experimental study focuses on the aerodynamic interaction between an over-the-wing
(OTW) propeller and a wing boundary layer. An OTW propeller is positioned above the …

The present work experimentally examines the aeroacoustic characteristics of a propeller
ingesting various planar turbulent boundary layers. The experimental setup consists of a two …
