This paper presents some results of the flight test campaign conducted on the Tecnam P2006T aircraft, on the occasion of its certification process. This twin-engine propeller airplane is certified under the normal category CS-23 and FAR 23. A prototype of this light aircraft has been tested in flight for a post-design performance optimization and for the assessment of flight qualities. These ex...

As small Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (sUAS) increase in popularity, computational analysis is increasingly being used to model and improve their performance. However, although propeller performance one of the primary elements modelling an aircraft, most manufacturers propellers for this size vehicle do not publish geometric information propeller. The lack available data makes simulation aerodyn...

Abstract Increased high-lift capabilities due to propeller slipstream, i.e. slipstream deflection, is seen be one of the main benefits distributed propulsion, as it may lead a reduction in wing size and thus reduced drag cruise flight and/or system weight complexity. The presented work assesses potential propulsion on novel transport aircraft design from an aerodynamic point view. assessment ba...

Before the coronavirus pandemic, there were 4.5 billion passenger movements by aircraft annually; this is expected to recover after pandemic. Despite large numbers of flights per year, are few reports whole-body vibration in fixed-wing aircraft. This paper a review literature intended collate reported data related exposure vibration. Following filtering process select relevant articles, search ...

The application of a stochastic optimiser to two problems in engineering design is presented. The benefits of using such an optimiser in conjunction with a calculus based method are discussed, and its ability to succeed in non-linear and discontinuous design spaces is shown in light of two aerospace design optimisation problems: the design of quiet and efficient propellers and the design of a m...

The high-power density and good scaling properties of electric motors enable new propulsion arrangements aircraft configurations. This results in distributed systems allowing to make use aerodynamic interaction effects between individual propellers the wing aircraft, improving flight performance thus reducing in-flight emissions. In order systematically analyze these effects, an unmanned resear...
