Takeoff trajectory computations are made for a typical lift + cruise small transport aircraft suitable for an urban air taxi. The selected wing–body model consists of lifting and pushing propellers. Flow is modeled using the Navier–Stokes equations. A procedure is developed to embed the trajectory motion equations in an overset grid topology along with rotating blades. Results are validated with lifting line theory computations. A typical takeoff scenario is demonstrated by time-accurately integrating trajectory equations with the flow equations. The present work extends the capabilities of the current Navier–Stokes solvers to simulate trajectory motions of urban air taxi configurations.
