Methodology to assess the performance of an aircraft concept

What is it about?

The performance benefits of boundary layer ingestion in aircraft with distributed propulsion have been extensively studied in the past. These studies have indicated that propulsion system integration issues such as distortion and intake pressure losses could mitigate the expected benefits. T
