Split-Wing Propulsor Design and Analysis for Electric Distributed Propulsion
2011
49th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition
unpublished
In this paper, the design and analysis of a distributed turboelectric propulsion system embedded within a split-wing is discussed. The potential for performance and efficiency improvements are significant with such a design. A propulsion system of this style however comes with many tribulations including difficult integration into the wing and strong coupling between the propulsion system and wing aerodynamics. Inlet analysis yielded a union between pressure recovery and inboard wing
