Martin UAV: Drone maker uses Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and Simcenter HEEDS to deliver the world’s first true ducted fan VTOL UAV
Martin UAV used HEEDS to optimise the ducted fan VTOL design, improving hover thrust by 5.8%, reducing cruise power by 3.8%, and extending flight time beyond 8 hours.
“With HEEDS, we could iterate through hundreds of designs for several runs of hover and cruise. I was pleasantly surprised at the kind of answers and insights we got.”
