Development Of Lifting Line Theory For The Fanwing Propulsion System, Christopher Kaminski
Development Of Lifting Line Theory For The Fanwing Propulsion System, Christopher Kaminski
Honors Undergraduate Theses
The FanWing propulsion system is a novel propulsion system which aerodynamically behaves as a hybrid between a helicopter and a fixed wing aircraft, and if the knowledge base with regards to this novel concept can be fully explored, there could be a new class of aircraft developed. In the current research, only 2D CFD studies have been done for the FanWing, hence the 3D lift characteristics of the FanWing have been unknown thus far, at least in the theoretical domain. Therefore, it was proposed to develop a modified Prandtl's Lifting Line Theory numerical solution and a CFD solution, comparing the …
