Voordelen van gedistribueerde elektrische aandrijftechnologie (DEP-SFD)

De Distributed Electric Propulsion-technologie werd gedemonstreerd en getest in een meetcampagne met meerdere vluchten van een geschaald vliegtuig in 2024. De vluchtdynamica en -controle van het vliegtuig maken het mogelijk om te sturen en te controleren met differentiële stuwkracht. Hiermee kan het vliegtuig tijdens de vlucht gestuurd worden met verschillende stuwkracht van de linker- en […]
