Ducted_Fan#

Ducted Fan Methods Package

This module contains methods for analyzing and designing ducted fan propulsion systems. The methods support both low and medium-fidelity analysis.

The module provides functionality for:

  • Geometry generation and manipulation

  • Performance analysis and efficiency calculations

  • DFDC case setup and execution

  • Results processing and data handling
