A Conceptual Design and Optimization Approach for Distributed Electric Propulsion eVTOL Aircraft Based on Ducted-Fan Wing Unit

The distributed electric propulsion (DEP) eVTOL aircraft has gained rising interest for its promising potential in high-speed cruise compared with conventional tilt-rotor configuration. The aerodynamic interference of the DEP units and wing could become more complicated with a variable thrust in mul...
