Investigations into the use of a cross-flow fan as a potential source of propulsion and lift have arisen due to the crossflow fan's geometry, light weight and safety by shielding from bystanders. The application of a cross-flow fan as the propulsion source for a fan-wing vertical takeoff and landing vehicle has drawn attention in recent years. Previous investigations have demonstrated the performance characteristics of multiple cross-flow fan configurations. During this ...
