EVTOL Aircraft Configuration Study
Driven by the demand for sustainable aviation, eVTOL aircraft have gained significant public interest and investments for development. Unlike conventional aircraft designs, there is an abundance of eVTOL concepts that are differentiated by their propulsion configuration.
Hence, this study aimed to answer the following questions:
How many rotors should an eVTOL have?
How many rotors should tilt?
What is the sensitivity of aircraft range to changes in mission profile and rotor configuration?
