This study investigates and compares the aerodynamic-propulsion interaction characteristics of a wing section with Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) aircraft using multiple electric motors. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the computational fluid dynamic analysis method and the modeling method for the DEP configuration. The findings show that the DEP system can generate significant lift increase and drag reduction simultaneously, consistent with the potential benefit of Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) at low airspeed.
Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) aircraft use multiple electric motors to drive the propulsors, which gives potential benefits to aerodynamic-propulsion interaction. To investigate and quantify the aerodynamic-propulsion interaction effect of the wing section, we built a DEP demonstrator with 24 high-lift Electric Ducted Fans (EDFs) distributed along the wing's trailing edge. This paper explores and compares the aero-propulsion coupling characteristics under various upstream speed, throttle, and EDF mounting surface deflection angles using a series of wind tunnel tests. We compare various lift-augmentation power conditions to the clean configuration without propulsion unit under the experiment condition of 15-25 m/s freestream flow and angles of attack from-4 degrees to 16 degrees. The comparison of computational results to the experimental results verifies the effectiveness of the computational fluid dynamic analysis method and the modeling method for the DEP configuration. The results show that the EDFs can produce significant lift increment and drag reduction simultaneously, which is accordant with the potential benefit of Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) at low airspeed.(c) 2022 Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
