Vtol Aircraft Design

MANE-6210

Aerodynamics and dynamics of lifting rotors. Design concepts by which rotor weight and stress are minimized and vehicle control is provided. Weight and engine power trends for configuration definition. Center of gravity and aerodynamic lift and moment for equilibrium and desired aircraft attitude. Methods for determining size weight, and cost for a given payload, useful volume, and specified performance. This is a communication-intensive course.
