Abstract

To address the challenges of future air traffic, such as more accessible air travel with better public acceptance, this research work focuses on efficient active high-lift systems (AHLS). This system applies boundary layer suction combined with a controlled Coanda jet. Electrically powered compressors are located in the wings at each flap to supply the suction and blowing air mass flow rate to the AHLS, thus coupling the two in a useful way. This concept provides flexibility and controllability of lift generation and is consistent with the trend towards an “all-electric aircraft”. General models for assessment of such systems in preliminary aircraft design are not available yet as they require interdisciplinary expertise. This paper provides general design considerations for the components of this type of electrically powered AHLS, comprising compressors, motors, power electronics, system peripherals, and generators. The conceptual design for those components results in models for preliminary aircraft design which allows estimating power consumption, size and mass.
