– The purpose of this paper is to identify efficient methods and tools for the design of distributed propulsion architectures.

    Design/methodology/approach

    – Multi-objective computational aerodynamic design optimisation of an S-Duct shape.

    Findings

    – Both duct pressure loss and flow distortion through such a duct can be reduced by wall-curvature changes.

    Research limitations/implications

    – Initial simplified study requires higher fidelity computational fluid dynamics & design sensitivity follow-up.

    Practical implications

    – Shape optimisation of an S-Duct intake can improve intake efficiency and reduce the risk of engine-intake compatibility problems.

    Social implications

    – Potential to advance lower emissions impact from distributed propulsion aircraft.

    Originality/value

    – Both the duct loss and flow distortion can be simultaneously reduced by significant amounts.
