Development of a multi-rotor VTOL UAV : numerical study of rotor-wake induced interference drag on a VTOL UAV

Momentum Actuator (MA) models in CFD are analysed for their practical and accurate representation of aircraft propulsion. Methods for determining the inputs to these MA models are validated, and the MA model is used on a half-body Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The effect o...
