About this award
Texas Tech University System was awarded a $71,115.38 research grant by a civilian federal agency on January 1, 2023, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2024. The award supports research on the "Underwing Distributed Ducted Fan Fanfoil Concept for Transformational Aerodynamic and Aeroacoustic Performance," an initiative designed to advance electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft technology. The research focuses on developing two critical innovations: novel under-cambered airfoils that integrate electric ducted fans on the aft-underside region of aircraft wings to reduce form drag and frontal cross-section visibility, and biomimetic rotor designs inspired by samara maple seed geometry to optimize lift distribution and reduce induced drag. This work addresses the fundamental challenge of improving aerodynamic efficiency and reducing noise in transitioning fixed-wing eVTOL aircraft.
The project's overarching objective is to demonstrate commercial viability of the Fanfoil concept by reducing the electric power requirements for ducted fan propulsion systems while simultaneously increasing cruise lift-to-drag ratios and aircraft range through the integration of recessed fan arrays beneath the fixed wing. The research will be conducted at Texas Tech University's Lubbock, Texas campus. No set-aside designation was used for this contract award. This grant aligns with the university's established capabilities in advanced aeronautical research and development, supporting national priorities in emerging aviation technologies and sustainable transportation innovation.
