Performance

Methods for analyzing and computing the performance of rotors in aircraft propulsion systems.

This module provides functions for calculating the aerodynamic performance of various types of rotors, including propellers, lift rotors, and prop rotors. It implements different analysis methods such as Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) with Helmholtz wake modeling and Actuator Disc Theory.

The performance analysis methods calculate key parameters such as thrust, torque, power, efficiency, and induced velocities based on the rotor geometry, operating conditions, and flight state. These methods are essential for predicting the behavior of rotors in different flight regimes, from hover to forward flight.
