Design#

Methods for designing rotors in aircraft propulsion systems.

This module provides functions for setting up and executing the design process for various types of rotors, including propellers, lift rotors, and prop rotors. It includes methods for blade geometry setup, optimization parameter configuration, design procedure definition, and post-optimization parameter setting.

The design process typically involves:

  1. Setting up the blade geometry with appropriate airfoil sections and twist distribution

  2. Configuring the optimization parameters and constraints

  3. Defining the design procedure and analysis methods

  4. Running the optimization to find the optimal blade design

  5. Setting the optimized parameters in the rotor object
