Computational Study of the Propeller Position Effects in Wing-Mounted, Distributed Electric Propulsion with Boundary Layer Ingestion in a 25 kg Remotely Piloted Aircraft

[EN] Distributed electric propulsion and boundary layer ingestion are two attractive technologies to reduce the power consumption of fixed wing aircraft. Through careful distribution of the propulsive system elements, higher aerodynamic and propulsive efficiency can be achieved, as well as a lower r...

Through careful distribution of the propulsive system elements, higher aerodynamic and propulsive efficiency can be achieved, as well as a lower risk of total loss of aircraft due to foreign object damage. When used on the wing, further reductions of the bending moment on the wing root can even lead to reductions of its structural weight, thus mitigating the expected increase of operating empty weight due to the extra components needed. While coupling these technologies in fixed-wing aircraft is being actively studied in the big aircraft segment, it is also an interesting approach for increasing the efficiency even for aircraft with maximum take-off masses as low as 25 kg, such as the A3 open subcategory for civil drones from EASA. This paper studies the effect of changing the propellers' position in the aerodynamic performance parameters of a distributed electric propulsion with boundary layer ingestion system in a 25 kg fixed-wing aircraft, as well as in the performance of the propellers. The computational results show the trade-offs between the aerodynamic efficiency and the propeller efficiency when the vertical position is varied.This research was funded by the Agencia Estatal de Investigacion of Spain through grant number PID2020-119468RA-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.MDPI AGDepartamento de Máquinas y Motores TérmicosEscuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño IndustrialInstituto Universitario de Investigación CMT - Clean Mobility & ThermofluidsAGENCIA ESTATAL DE INVESTIGACIONRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20212021-09-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/188036reponame:RiuNet.

description [EN] Distributed electric propulsion and boundary layer ingestion are two attractive technologies to reduce the power consumption of fixed wing aircraft. Through careful distribution of the propulsive system elements, higher aerodynamic and propulsive efficiency can be achieved, as well as a lower risk of total loss of aircraft due to foreign object damage. When used on the wing, further reductions of the bending moment on the wing root can even lead to reductions of its structural weight, thus mitigating the expected increase of operating empty weight due to the extra components needed. While coupling these technologies in fixed-wing aircraft is being actively studied in the big aircraft segment, it is also an interesting approach for increasing the efficiency even for aircraft with maximum take-off masses as low as 25 kg, such as the A3 open subcategory for civil drones from EASA. This paper studies the effect of changing the propellers' position in the aerodynamic performance parameters of a distributed electric propulsion with boundary layer ingestion system in a 25 kg fixed-wing aircraft, as well as in the performance of the propellers. The computational results show the trade-offs between the aerodynamic efficiency and the propeller efficiency when the vertical position is varied.
