Untethered Flight of a 270 mg Microrobot Powered by Onboard Energy
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2023 It is challenging for microrobots to fly using onboard energy due to the relatively heavy power supplies and inefficient actuators that are limited to a small size (mass less than 1000 mg and wingspan less than 100 mm).

A contribution to the investigation of acoustic interferences in aircraft distributed propulsion [PDF]
CEAS Aeronautical Journal, 2023 AbstractThe objective of this work is to better understand the acoustic interferences created by distributed propulsion engines based on an approach that combines RANS simulation results for the aerodynamic prediction and analytical models to calculate acoustics. A multi-propeller configuration without wing is considered for this investigation.
