[@xevious2501]

Novel idea, seems cool but many many more moving parts which means many more places of possible failure. Not to mention additional complexity in part creation and manufacturing. still its a novel idea. Ive never been a fan (no pun intended) of open rotor designs. The Lilium Jet for me is still by far the leading design in this category of aircraft. Safety for me is the primary issue. Many many open rotor blades all moving at high speeds and a very high risk of cataclysmic failure and extreme safety risk for passengers in the event of an accident. And we should all expect an accident event with each aircraft. be it bird strike, or some other unforeseen event that would otherwise see rotor contact with a foreign object. Ducted fans vastly reduce such risk, as a serious engine failure would physically be contained within the duct.

Impressive I've been designing mechanical parts for more than 10 years now for drones, seeing this is like a dream. Good times to be alive

[@edwarddejong8025]

This type of approach will depend very much on the mechanical engineering skill of the fabricators. To keep the weight down, and the number of moving parts minimized, will be a huge challenge. The noise issue is critical for electric aircraft to succeed in the cities. At present for example, helicopters are banned from the bay area; you have to land near the airport, as the noise was just too much. In Brasil, Sao Paulo, has the largest helicopter fleet on the planet, because they don't have noise restrictions. So ducting may be necessary, even though it costs weight, because noise pollution from a lot of these things buzzing around will be quite annoying.

[@swisstraeng]

There is another issue also. With 4 fans, should an engine fail in hover flight, there is no way to avoid crash. A helicopter can still land should it lose power. Same goes for aircrafts. That will likely mean 6 fans minimum are needed, and tripled up electrical systems, and make sure the aircraft still flies with 4/6 fans.

Excellent stuff bro

[@f1reguy587]

Ive looked into this over the years, the idea of the ducted fan particularly for private use wont work out untill the military adopt the R+D costs, you run higher more efficient RPM in the ducted but you lack the lift potential since you require a pretty large ducted fan, this is mostly noticed when you want to lift weight and of course deal with wind, gyros have come a long way and polymers have also, which makes these machines very much more possible, but its just not taking off as a venture until the powerplant requirement and versatility for one of these exists. The operating costs even of a basic helicopter would dwarf this concept, even if it is better in some ways.

Idk how much sense the Cargo Container/ Freight version of the E-VTOL craft would make but, I think it could be very easily adapted to make a really sophisticated type of Emergency Aircraft that can hold swappable pods, like it would containers. Able to hold various mission specific payloads, such as a medical pod that can not only serve as an Emergency medical transport helicopter capable of handling both transport and triage of multiple people simultaneously but, also as a full sized ER room that can drop off fully equipped medical facility pods to remote areas or a battlefield. Possibly even a firefighting VTOL that can hold more water than a helicopter equipped with a Bambi bucket and potentially operate remotely or autonomously.

[@SmoochyRoo]

Nah, another much simpler solution is to just make the ducted fans slightly larger to achieve the same efficiency and airflow goals, the increase in weight due to the increase in size would be less negligible than the weight introduced by all those mechanical parts, the overall size increase won't change the aircraft profile and footprint at all as well, and adding a few more blades to the ducted fan would also go a long way to reducing noise and helping with lift.

[@minerran]

It surely makes sense for more classical, hover-dependent vehicles like the typical 'drone' without any wing-surfaces. However when it comes to winged aircraft, I am not convinced that these efficiency gains in hover will outweigh the high loading that comes with them. This means longer transition times and therefore more time in hover.

[@Yay-hovah]

How well does a ducted fan work while landing and taking off in gusty conditions?

[@Macrocompassion]

A full comparison between ducted fans and propellers has not been presented. The effect of propellers having lower mass means that they can be made of greater disk diameter with lower induced speed of the air at the blade (as in a helicopter rotor) and the result is less noise and greater lift or thrust. But these two answers are not the only possibilities, and it is my claim that the energy being wasted in the flow of the air behind or below both arrangements can be reduced using a centrifugal fan that works below a canopy (like on a parachute). The radial flow from this kind of fan is then blown onto the curved surface of the canopy and is directed downwards, being curved below it. This spreading and curvature of the radial flow, helps the kinetic energy to be converted into pressure energy and lifting force on the canopy itself. There will also be some suction above the inlet to the fan which will also add to the effects that the canopy provides. It is also advantageous against engine failure where the sinking speed is reduced as on a parachute, and unlike anything like as much as on an auto-rotating helicopter or drone.

I don't really understand the disadvantage of the consumption of more power for hover in ducted fans. If I am not wrong, ducted fans needs less power to hover than open rotors, since the losses produced by tip vortex are avoided

[@md.moinulislam9467]

MASHAALLAH khub valo video......

[@tsclly2377]

Forget the stators, as it is better to use a counter rotating independently driven lower set of propellers as to redundancy of having power and it is better to have a simpler airflow limiting / compressing design by having a bigger center that goes in and out than to increase the ring with a complex clunky multi faceted expanding cone.. it is the high speed that one wants to decrease the air flow into the fan as this is where power requirements start getting exceedingly high as speed increases.. and at the higher altitudes increasing the pressure inside the duct keeps the fan more optimized.. I've done the math years ago and solidity is what you want with fans as you can get realistically a 12% increase in efficiency, everything else takes more power as one is accelerating a mass of air to higher velocities... so the start of any exercise in this is the force that you engine(s) or motor(s) can deliver.. there is no 'free lunch'.

Wouldn’t really work as the purpose of the torroid is reduce turbulence at the tips or what would be a standard propeller. A duct does the same thing by being a physical barrier to reduce wingtip turbulence.

Instead of a propellor, I would love to see the development of an impellor motor, based on creating a vacuum where the air can flow into, with the mayor benefit of creating a (natural) vortex instead of turbulence.

[@cndl_lght]

Ducted eVTOL transportation for civilian movement is cool. The application for transportation and movement of shipping containers is flat out stupid however. Shipping freight cranes are large and seemingly more expensive, however they are safer to operate and maintain. I believe that transportation of shipping containers should be relegated to trains however, utilizing train tracks to run directly into freight yards and unloading into warehouses that are built along the rail system. From the warehouse, companies can utilize either shipping vans, or upgrade to drone shipment for more efficiency. housing areas should be built around such infrastructure to minimize the possibility of a drone going beyond its signal range and losing battery power. Building amenities around warehouses can also make the movement of goods more efficient and reduce fuel/power consumption. Instead of tall skyscrapers with offices in a city center, building down can unearth history and maximize work space while clearing airspace for movement. So imagine a city built underground, warehouses on top, a shopping mall built around it, housing built around that, air shipping within close proximity for fast and efficient delivery, and underground networks connecting all infrastructure like a web, preventing nature from being destroyed by the construction and expansion of more roads and railways. BAM! civic development and planning is easy!

[@johnroutledge9220]

I assumed that image referred to an air-crane, not a shipping container transport as such. That would be short range, and could open up a lot of flexibility for loading and unloading containers, especially from small islands. A big ship might not even have to stop or slow down while picking up or dropping off a shipping container or two from a 'micro port' that is little more than a car park. Even in a large port it would allow a ship to unload a few containers and then leave, rather than waiting for a berth to become available, and getting into and out of that berth.

[@odeltarkhan3033]

What is the price please?

[@aliptera]

Ducted propellers have a big disadvantage: weight. To be effective, the duct-propeller tip distance needs to be very small, so the duct needs to be very stiff - this leads to a lot of extra weight. In most conditions a larger propeller is a better alternative than using a ducted propeller for increasing lift. Adding mechanical stuff to vary the duct intake geometry increases weight even more, probably more than the extra lift produced.

[@frankyflowers]

if one of my toys had that id rip it off.

[@curtisfoster540]

Yup. And anyone want to try counting the additional moving components associated with this design, per motor, as compared to open prop models? Moving components = likely point of failure. And each one of those components jamming would impact stability during any flight mode. Autopilot can certainly correct for this during most circumstances, yet evtol's already have a LOT of things to manage to safely fly. This might be a bit risky for an already risky new transportation mode and industry. And yet, I'm rooting for them and all others in this field.

A well designed propeller is approximately 85% efficient. A propeller can be a much larger diameter than a ducted fan giving a higher Froude efficiency. So the efficiency improvements you quoted are totally unachievable. They aren’t even make-believe, they are mathematically impossible. There is no way that even a variable geometry ducted fan will be more efficient than a propeller as a vertical lift device.

The Lilium Jet for me is still by far the leading design in this category of aircraft. Safety for me is the primary issue.
