Performance Calculation of Aerodyne Systems in Cruising Flight

Abstract

This report contains the derivation of the basic equations characterizing the flight performance of an internal flow system as used on an aerodyne aircraft. The investigation shows that the influence of the external flow process on the performance of such aircraft systems is considerable. The performance numbers derived from this investigation show that the aerodyne concept can be developed into an efficient aircraft with favorable range and endurance flight characteristics.
