As with any new idea, bugs need to get worked out and adjustments made with updated versions. But at least someone is making the effort. I look forward to the proofs of principle. Putting in the effort is always preferable to the naysayers espousals.. Not every concept is successful. That's what trail and error is all about. I wish you well and thank you.

The problem is the constant back pressure that the compression fans are fighting against because they are forcing air through a airframe with sharp bends and curves finishing with narrowed ducted vents. To demand electric motors to fight against such pressure demands a constant high amperage power supply which is a major problem when weight is a factor from huge and heavy battery banks needed for adequate power for decent flight time.
@macrumpton
@macrumpton 3 года назад
The thing I have a hard time understanding is how they are avoiding high friction losses in the ducts between the compressor and the thrust ducts. The smaller and more complex the shape of that duct as well as its length and high speed movement of the air will necessarily create lots of frictional losses. The dyson fan gives a very even flow, but in comparison tests it is not more efficient or even quieter for a comparable air volume than a standard box fan.
@shanerosengren3521
@shanerosengren3521 3 года назад
My intuitive understanding is that there doesn’t need to be a high speed air flow in the ducts themselves. It’s the compression of the air in the duct system that creates high speed air flow when released at the slit around the air flow ring. That compressed air could be nearly stagnant in the ducts between the compression fan and release slit without any ill effects.

I think what is missing is the rate and surface area of the propulsion per kg of weight. To me this looks like a bonafide glide with a couple of powerful dyson fans for a small amount of propulsion. It works for a sub scale model because of the light weight. But once it scales it will need heavier "air compressors" just like large planes need larger engines. And when you add seating, instruments, interior materials and passengers with storage items then the weigh vs propulsion does not seem to add up. The drag will be significant. And while it will fly it will not be much fast than a glider plane most probably. I guess we will have to weight yet another decade to see large models

@jamesengland7461 3 года назад
Let's simply look at this as taking a Boeing 747 and cramming the engines inside the fuselage, then ducting their exhaust through the wings. You take an efficient turbofan and bury it inside, with airflow losses from hundreds of feet of intake and exhaust ducting, you must add engine and fuselage cooling and insulation, and all that exhaust ducting must be able to withstand the extreme heat and pressure from the engines. This probably necessitates stainless steel or titanium. You don't want any of that near the fuel tanks, passengers, or cargo. Oh yeah; one more thing: that ducted, high speed air also INCREASES drag on the wing surface. Finally, remember this: the most efficient use of air travel is for long distance travel. Think five miles up, but five thousand miles downrange. Yes, airplanes require lift to fly, but they have no need to go straight up; they cross continents. V/STOL is an entirely different mission, and is really just a better helicopter. No, you can't get more efficient lift than a helicopter rotor disk.

Safety certification rules for passenger carrying aircraft require that multi-engine aircraft can continue to safely operate even if a single engine suddenly fails at the worst possible time during takeoff or landing. Even single engine aircraft must demonstrate safe handling qualities if its engine fails. This means that designers cannot easily rely on lift generated directly or indirectly by the propulsion system.

@pascalfust1035
@pascalfust1035 3 года назад
The supplied points are interesting features, but do not fully cover the topic of flight efficiency. First of all, it should be noted that air flow over a wing/airplane might consist of LAMINAR as well as TURBULENT proportions. In modern aircrafts, both flows are present and the design is optimized accordingly. Using the exhaust flow of a propulsion system to create lift on a wing results in mostly turbulent flow conditions, which is not always most desirable. Second, notably not all the wing surface is similar in its flow conditions. This means that having local increase of lift will affect the wing areas closeby, probably putting those in less favourable conditions. This obviously is also the case in any twin turboprop aircraft. The idea of Jetoptera to distribute the propulsed air more equally by multiple propulsion units might be advantageous, but not necessarily better, as instead of having unsteady flow over part of the wing, it might cover the complete wing section. Fluid dynamics should not looked at at local scale, but more hollistic. Every change in a flow is affecting the others - and unfortunately not always to its benefit

The reason why commercial aircraft do not derive lift from propulsion is for because of safety. If an engine goes out, it would be incredibly dangerous to suddenly lose 30%+ of the aircraft's lift. I won't ever get into a plane that derives lift from thrust. I want to be able to safely coast to an emergency landing, not drop out of the sky like a rock with wing flaps.

@Traqr
@Traqr 3 года назад
The critical question is what happens if a "propulsor" fails at the worst possible time? Safety is always based on the weakest link principle, and traditional power plants are not reliable enough. This system, where a highly reliable compressor is safely buried in the body and ducts carry high pressure air to the propulsors is the first I've seen that comes close, though I question what happens if the power fails 5 seconds after liftoff or before landing. There are even helicopters that are required to roll out to take off because they wouldn't be able to avoid a crash if one engine fails below a certain speed/altitude.

It’s a nothingburger with a nightmare of internal ductwork. Nothing is as efficient for large airliners than nacelles hanging from their slender wings. The super powerful engines are dwarfed by the bypass turbines which are really huge ducted fans. Maintenance, drag, and costs are minimized by this configuration. Ever wonder why the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar’s ducted tail engine never caught on? Right.
@macrumpton
@macrumpton 3 года назад
My limited understanding of physics suggests the greater the difference between the speed of the propulsive flow and the speed of the aircraft the less efficient it is. So a slower moving high volume flow will be more efficient than a high speed lower volume flow. This is why model planes with huge slow moving props and vtol craft with large rotors are better for longer flight times. Jetoptera seems to be the opposite at least inside the plane, high speed compressor flow slowing down to be ejected from ducts. I must be missing something.

I've been working on hyper-efficient engineering projects, and this concept is kind of like my recent idea of utilizing heat loss as torque. In my design, which I hope will run on wood, I have a pseudo-wood gasifier that should hopefully recycle the lower pressure unburnt gas while the higher pressure combustion gas goes from wood burning reactor (that unburnt gas gets fed back into by combustion pressure, which should also be a higher octane) Into a jet turbine chamber. The jet turbine is powered by the heat of the wood burning in the reactor. As water becomes steam, it converts the energy from the heat that is lost normally, into steam pressure.. which can be very very high. Using this, a steam turbine is spun, and thus a turbojet engine is created. This could work without any kind of electricity, using steam pressure to circulate water, and slipstream air to condense the steam back into water, after cycling the engine. This turbine chamber could also be a combustion chamber, which small amounts of nitrous or bio-diesel could be sprayed into by nozzle such as in a normal jet engine, this would not only increase the thrust of the wood, but would reduce the need for airplane fuel. Also would require much less air intake, just a small opening on the fuselage should suffice, maybe some day this could be developed into a electricity-free aircraft. In any case, the theory of recycling lost heat into torque by way of steam pressure should apply universally.

...you say that modern jet engines don't contribute directly to lift, but I'm pretty sure there are designs out there using blown flaps. The issue is, if your lift relies partially on engine operation, you lose lift upon engine failure. That might be acceptable if you still maintain a safety margin, but you would also have to deal with the fact that part of your thrust is always contributing to lift even if you really don't need that...

I’d be interested in an electric vehicle that could take skydivers straight up to 25,000 ft and then return to home ready to take another group. I believe this could allow much less wait times lower cost and more jumps per day

Rate of climb is all about excess horsepower vs. weight. An electric aircraft could be optimized for that mission, but you would probably need to swap batteries on the ground between cycles. But why 25,000 ft? I don't skydive, but that seems too high. I understand that 10,000 to 14,000 ft is more common, and 18,000 ft is considered exceptional. Above 14,000 ft the pilot of an unpressurized airplane must be on oxygen, and even the divers should be taking supplemental oxygen on the trip up.

There is no need for such a narrow turbine, because the goal was blade-free exposer, not opressed turbine flow. This method of propulsion, requires sqeezing air through a very tiny turbine, this causes a tremendous power and force to get air through this to match a classic propulsion of a blade exposed. The only given advantage, is hidden blades, not providing more then a at home high power vacuum. Some advantages can apply, with afterburn or air heating, or instigate sonic waves turbines. Dyson presented this kind of "blade-free"at home fans, which is only a hidden blades. it will require a powerfull engine, with a higher air flow, afterburning/heat for greater speed. What good is a powerfull blade free exposer, when now slim air must be strong enough to cut a finger off.

Good convincing video, but you forgot a lot of aspects in your research. For example: , vibration, maintenance, pre flight checks, safety and most of all temperature?!?! Especially from the exhaust… you want te melt the wings or even better, wanne ignite the kerosine in the wings? Oh and what about the center of gravity if you put tons of turbine engines on top of the wings. All these topics do not reflect completely on electric engines, so it’s not ok to compare these and conclude witch one is the best…

Obviously you will eat ducting losses here. I wonder how the gains and losses balance out. Maybe it is more efficient for takeoff and landing, but less efficient for cruise flight? Maybe it simply allows for smaller wings to keep the plane aloft at low speed, which makes cruise flight less draggy if you turn off the diverters and use conventional jet outlets when not taking off or landing? Or perhaps it is a total wash, or worse?

This is simply incorrect. Modern passenger gets use the synergy between engine and the lift, on your own videos you can see that engines are located a little bit further from the wing and the exhaust is going under the wing, this does contribute to lift, by increasing the speed of air under the wing. The position behind the wing in some cases also makes sense, because they're sucking air from top of the wing.

@larrycostas5727 Год назад
Your synergy is not safe. If you lose an engine, you lose lift, which is not good. All the experimental airplanes that had propeller airstream blowing over flaps, had connecting shaft between props in case one engine fails. You are airborne, just off the runway, lose an engine at just above liftoff , and your lift now is less than weight, so, low altitude stall. What do you do? I think you should talk to some pilots (not Cessna 172) to explain these things. Coanda effect was known for some time but no practical applications for that reason.

@larrycostas5727 Год назад
@@argonwheatbelly637 I guess you don’t understand aerodynamics. You are already in a stalled situation because you lost an engine and there is not enough air mass over the wing to create lift. The only reason you were able to get airborne is because that engine was blowing air over the wing or it was diverted to create “power” lift. Now you cond have that lift. You lift coefficient went from 4 or 5 or 8, whatever you had with all the engines running, to half of it or less. You are stalled basically. Anyway, you should have thought about it before you got airborne.

Jetoptera looks like a big scam to me. Didn't hear anything about actual efficiency. Most of the flying aircraft were using turbines and not the compressor. The drones they are flying are just glorified model airplanes which you can build with very low relative wing loading. Four time more efficiency ?
