In this work, we conduct a numerical investigation of a hexacopter for urban air mobility,
emphasizing the interactional effect between different components of the vehicle on the …

Rotor–rotor and rotor–body interactions can have a first-order impact on multirotor vehicle
performance throughout the flight envelope. Identification of these performance impacts has …

A clear understanding of the flow structure and evolution of the rotor wake flow field is one of
the key problems to be solved in the development of rotor aerodynamics. The tip vortices are …

A rotorcraft hovering near the ground causes downwash and outwash. The impact of these
induced velocities on urban air mobility operations has not been extensively quantified. This …

In recent years, the demand for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs)
has driven the emergence of new aircraft designs, with the Staggered Rotor System being …

The demand for the development of urban air mobility (UAM) powered by electric systems
has been steadily rising across private and public sectors. Most UAM flights incorporate a …

As the population of the world's major cities increases, urban ground transportation
capability reaches its limits. Consequently, electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft have …

urban air mobility, the safety of multirotor vehicle operations in proximity to vertiports must be …

The present paper investigates the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic parameters of a wake
interaction setup comprising a NACA0024 and a propeller in edgewise flight using both …

This study explores the use of airframe permeability as a method to reduce rotor-airframe
interaction noise, which often exists in multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles. High-fidelity …
