Modules

compute_boom_weight(boom[, maximum_g_load, ...])

Calculates the structural mass of a boom for an eVTOL vehicle,

compute_fuselage_weight(fuse, maxSpan, MTOW)

Calculates the structural mass of a fuselage for an eVTOL vehicle, assuming a structural keel taking bending an torsional loads.

compute_operating_empty_weight(vehicle[, ...])

Calculates the empty vehicle mass for an EVTOL-type aircraft including seats, avionics, servomotors, ballistic recovery system, rotor and hub assembly, transmission, and landing gear.

compute_wing_weight(wing, config, max_thrust)

Calculates the structural mass of a wing for an eVTOL vehicle based on assumption of NACA airfoil wing, an assumed L/D, cm/cl, and structural geometry.

dynamo_supply_mass_estimation(HTS_Dynamo_Supply)

Basic mass estimation for HTS Dynamo supply. This supply includes all elements required to create the required shaft power from supplied electricity, i.e. the esc, brushless motor, and gearbox. Assumptions: Mass scales linearly with power and current.
