Summary of Work - The LAVA flow solver is utilized to investigate the design trade space of the SUSAN Electrofan concept’s Propulsion-Airframe Integration (PAI) systems, which include the effects of aero-propulsive coupling and boundary-layer ingestion (BLI). - Simplified infinite wing models are used to study various distributed electric propulsion (DEP) system arrangements, such as over-wing, under-wing, and trailing-edge configurations.
