Protection system considerations for DC distributed electrical propulsion systems

open access: yes, 2015
Distributed electrical propulsion for aircraft, also known as turbo-electric distributed propulsion (TeDP), will require a complex electrical power system which can deliver power to multiple propulsor motors from gas turbine driven generators.

The Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of a Distributed Propulsion Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this study is to examine the multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of a distributed propulsion blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft. The BWB is a hybrid shape resembling a flying wing, placing the payload in the inboard sections of the ...
