Abstract:The electric seaplane, designed for take-off and landing directly on water, incorporates additional structures such as floats to meet operational requirements. Consequently, during the take-off taxiing phase, it encounters significantly higher aerodynamic and hydrodynamic resistance than other aircraft. This increases energy demand for the electric seaplane during the take-off phase. A mathematical model for energy consumption during this stage was developed by analyzing resistance, using the propeller pitch a… Show more
