compute_ducted_fan_performance#

compute_ducted_fan_performance(ducted_fan, conditions)[source]#

Computes ducted fan performance characteristics using either Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) or Rankine-Froude Momentum Theory.

Parameters:

  • propulsor (Converter) – Ducted fan propulsor component containing the ducted fan

  • state (Conditions) – Mission segment state conditions

  • center_of_gravity (array_like, optional) – Aircraft center of gravity coordinates [[x, y, z]], defaults to [[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]]
