The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded contract has produced a 32-inch diameter ducted fan powered by a 70kW electric motor capable of producing over 430 pounds of thrust ...

This video provides an overview of a 40mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) cargo plane featuring thrust vectoring capabilities. It ...

A pair of ducted fan motors are attached to the middle of each segment with a 2-DOF gimbal that allows it to direct thrust in any direction relative to the segment.

BLI ducted fans are similar to the large engines found in modern airplanes but are partially embedded into the plane's main body instead of under the wings.

These ETFs are claimed to be between two and four times as efficient as existing, standard electric ducted fans (EDFs). The Neva Athena ETFs are a world first and are the only ducted fans optimised ...

On the Model 1031, differential braking on the rotors had controlled yaw, but with the combined transmission, this was no longer an option, so a pair of movable vanes was placed in the ducted fan's ...

Eighty pounds of thrust doesn’t mean eighty pounds of air. This 3D-printed water-cooled jet engine isn’t quite see-through, but it is interesting to see the thorough process of making the ...

Lilium says it expects to earn EASA type certification for its ducted fan eVTOL in 2025, one year later than originally planned. [Courtesy: Lilium] Germany-based electric vertical takeoff and ...

A Denver-based start-up has raised $10 million in equity "crowdfunding" to help develop a ducted-fan powered, fixed-wing business aircraft called the TriFan 600.

“The principal advantage claimed for these ducted-fan machines over machines with unshrouded propellers is that they afford you more thrust with the same amount of power for a given propeller ...

A new study reveals how noise is generated and propagated from these engines, technically known as boundary layer ingesting (BLI) ducted fans. The mystery of how futuristic aircraft embedded ...

On the Model 1031, differential braking on the rotors had controlled yaw, but with the combined transmission, this was no longer an option, so a pair of movable vanes was placed in the ducted fan's ...
