Description

Distributed propulsion systems for future airplanes. This project aims to revolutionise the design of new airplanes by developing a novel method for controlling conventional aircraft. This will be achieved by the application of advanced control strategies utilising the advantages of distributed propulsion systems. It will also pave the way for the use of electric and hybrid propulsion systems resulting in a significant reduction in carbon emission in the aviation sector. The benefits to the Partner Organisation will be the necessary experimental dataset and control algorithm to advance their project. Other potential outcomes include widely applicable knowledge and skills, improved modelling and experimental techniques and tools, training of PhDs, and enhanced international collaborations. . Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4012 - Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Engineering. Lead: Prof Maziar Arjomandi
