Ducted Propeller Technical Study

Abstract

The major objective of the present report is to evaluate the potentials of a ducted fan type flying crane. An optimization study is conducted for a series of given missions characterized by payload, range, and hover time. Such a study requires a knowledge of the weights of the various components and of the power requirements in different flight conditions.
