def compute_ducted_fan_performance(ducted_fan,conditions):
    """
    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]]
