    None

Member Function Documentation

◆ __defaults__()

def SUAVE.Components.Energy.Networks.Battery_Ducted_Fan.Battery_Ducted_Fan.__defaults__ (   self)
This sets the default values for the network to function.
    This network operates slightly different than most as it attaches a propulsor to the net.
    
    Assumptions:
    
    
    Source:
    N/A
    
    Inputs:
    None
    
    Outputs:
    None
    
    Properties Used:
    N/A

Reimplemented from SUAVE.Components.Energy.Networks.Network.Network.

◆ evaluate_thrust()

def SUAVE.Components.Energy.Networks.Battery_Ducted_Fan.Battery_Ducted_Fan.evaluate_thrust (   self,
  state 
)
Calculate thrust given the current state of the vehicle
    
    Assumptions:
    Constant mass batteries
    ESC input voltage is constant at max battery voltage
    
    
    Source:
    N/A
    
    Inputs:
    state [state()]
    
    Outputs:
    results.thrust_force_vector [newtons]
    results.vehicle_mass_rate   [kg/s]
    
    Properties Used:
    Defaulted values
