Comparative Evaluation Of Propulsive Power Transmission Technologies For High-Speed Vertical Takeoff And Landing (Hsvtol) Cargo Aircraft, Xinyu Yang Dec 2023

Comparative Evaluation Of Propulsive Power Transmission Technologies For High-Speed Vertical Takeoff And Landing (Hsvtol) Cargo Aircraft, Xinyu Yang

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

Designing High-Speed Vertical Takeoff and Landing (HSVTOL) cargo aircraft capable of both low downwash velocity hovering and high subsonic speed cruising presents a significant engineering challenge. This challenge, stemming from conflicting design requirements, has been substantially influenced by recent technological advancements, which have offered greater flexibility in rotor placement. Consequently, this has led to the emergence of innovative mission-specific designs that hold the potential to outperform traditional concepts. The central objective of this study is to evaluate the benefits of modern technologies for VTOL cargo aircraft and assess their performance relative to baseline VTOL aircraft. The results of this comparative …
