摘要
This paper presents a feasibility study to integrate a developed lift system (an annular wing wrapped around a centrifugal flow generator) into a Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing V/STOL aircraft. Different physical scales, from micro aerial vehicle to a Harrier Jump Jet scale, for a variety of propulsion systems are explored. The system has shown to be viable for several classes of aircraft but with better performance offered by a micro-aerial-vehicle (similar to 40g) and a large vehicle (similar to 10,000kg) with a turbofan engine, albeit in both cases with apparently worse performance than is offered by current technologies. The wingform does not appear to be feasible in the light aircraft scale whilst using internal combustion engines.
