CFD SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SMALL DUCTED FAN AIRCRAFT
소형 덕트 팬 항공기의 전산해석 및 공력특성 분석
Abstract
A Duct surrounding a fan is known to reduce the tip loss and increase the fan performance efficiency. It also reduces the fan noise drastically. Ducted fan, therefore, has been focused to be a promising candidate for high efficient propulsion system. In this study, a small plane having ducted fan which can be tilted for vertical take-off and landing, is analyzed by CFD and its aerodynamic characteristics are compared. Ductef fan aircraft has small range of angle of attack for mininum drag and duct design should be focused for efficient ducted fan aircraft.
