Goudswaard, Reinier (author)The growing demand for efficient propulsion systems that operate primarily in hover, has led the ducted rotor configuration to emerge as an increasingly popular design solution. One of the major design parameters for the ducted-rotor assembly is the radial distance between the blade tip and the circumferential wall of the duct, referred to as...master thesis 2021

Negrato, C. (author)A ducted propeller configuration consists of a fixed annular nozzle surrounding the propeller. The nozzle has an airfoil shape which depends on the required performance of the system as well as the operating conditions. The flow-accelerating ducts provide a positive contribution to the thrust of the propulsor and they are used to increase the...master thesis 2015
