Abstract:Whole-aircraft coupled aerodynamics, flight dynamics, and structural dynamics models are commonly employed during the aircraft design process, generally increasing in fidelity, and associatively accuracy, as the design matures. While literature acknowledges the impact of explicitly representing the propulsion system in such models, it does not address the impact of structural idealizations on key metrics that inform early conceptual design. This paper investigates the impact of a range of propulsion system str… Show more
