A while back, we wrote about the ducted fan, single rotor, VTOL drone that [Armin Strobel] was working on. It wasn’t quite finished then, and hadn’t got off the ground yet. He’s posted an update, and ...
Ducted fans have emerged as a promising propulsion solution for modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), particularly in applications that demand high safety, efficiency and low noise levels. Enclosing ...
The Airvinci personal ducted fan helicopter and drones could enable the flying car future. The unmanned heavy cargo drone version looks like a good way to commercially ramp up to true personal flight.
Any student new to the principles of fluid dynamics will be familiar with Bernoulli’s principle and the Venturi effect, where the speed of a liquid or gas increases when the size of the conduit it ...
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 engines, ...

France’s ducted fan VTOL that was supposed to hunt helicopters
Nord Aviation’s N.500 Cadet was built around twin rotating ducted fans designed to shift from vertical lift to fast forward flight, promising a different approach to VTOL than helicopters. The project ...
As a proposed alternative to heavy vehicle road transport, UK-based 4x4 Aviation has conceived a hybrid VTOL cargo plane fitted with electric, tiltable, ducted fans that it claims will be able to ...
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. XTI began a crowdfunding campaign on ...
