Determination of some basic operational characteristics of electric ducted fan by combining experimental and theory method
Keywords:
Thrust-speed characteristic, Efficiency characteristics, Ducted fan, Flying objectAbstract
In general, electric ducted fan (EDF), the thrust-speed characteristics depend on to provided power or efficiency characteristics depend on moving speed, there are quite a lot changes of the characteristics during operation and play an important role in flying system design. This paper presents a method to build and dertermine some basic working characteristics of an electric ducted fan by combining momentum theory and some test parameters provided by the manufacturer. The results of this paper are intended to support the system design in the early stages, approach to practice results closer before making a decision to create prototype or buy ready-made products.
