RCAIDE.Library.Components.Powertrain.Propulsors

Propulsors#

Collection of propulsion system components for aircraft modeling and simulation.

This module provides various propulsor classes for different types of aircraft propulsion systems, including:

  • Electric propulsion (Electric_Rotor, Electric_Ducted_Fan)

  • Internal combustion engine propulsion (ICE_Propeller, Constant_Speed_ICE_Propeller)

  • Gas turbine propulsion (Turbofan, Turbojet, Turboshaft, Turboprop)

  • Power conversion components (Converters)

Notes

Each propulsor class inherits from the base Propulsor class and implements specific methods for performance calculation, operating condition management, and system state tracking.

The module structure allows for easy extension with new propulsion system types while maintaining consistent interfaces across all implementations.
