Mia Jovetic wins the “HBO Techniek prijs 2020-2021” with “Implementing novel model aircraft configurations into the Heyson’s method for lift interference”.
One of the enhancements is a V‑tail configuration. This made it possible to evaluate the results of the NEXTTRIP test and compare the results for V‑tail and T‑tail configurations including the power effects of the tilt-rotor. This made the choice for the overall most optimal configuration possible. Mia’s work also contributed to the publication, “Lift Interference Effects Evaluation for Powered Models in Closed-wall Low-speed Wind Tunnels”, AIAA-2021-1105.

Low-noise propellers tested at DNW
After pre-tests in the low speed wind tunnel LST, aerodynamic and aero-acoustic validation of low-noise propellers developed within the IRON project have been performed successfully at DNW-HST and LLF at cruise- and low-speed respectively. Preliminary test results confirm the potential of the optimised propeller to operate at high cruise speeds while significantly reducing cabin noise, as predicted by the numerical models.
