Tilted Boundary Layer Ingestion Engine

Project type

UAV

Date

2023

Location

Shanghai

Lilium Jet is the first to acquire permission for flight in Europe among the eVTOL startups. Using its boundary layer ingestion engines, it can increase its efficiency while reducing noise.

Can this technology be further improved? How will the performance be affected if it is installed in different locations on the airfoil? Does it have to face the front, how about tilted?

With the context of STOL urban logistics flight, the BLI engine is discussed with a NACA-63018 foil.
