Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x content-type="archive" xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <title content-type="abstract-heading">Purpose</title> <p> – This paper aims to consider main challenges of development of advanced architectures of propulsion systems, i.e. distributed propulsion systems (DPS). </p> </sec> <sec> <title content-type="abstract-heading">Design/methodology/approach</title> <p> – This paper is a comparative analysis of different types of DPS. </p> </sec> <sec> <title content-type="abstract-heading">Findings</title> <p> – Mechanical driving DPS seems as more feasible in near-term outlook, and turboelectric and full electric DPS are imagined feasible in mid- and far-term outlook. </p> </sec> <sec> <title content-type="abstract-heading">Research limitations/implications</title> <p> – Additional comprehensive numerical and experimental researches are needed to approve the efficiency of DPS. </p> </sec> <sec> <title content-type="abstract-heading">Practical implications</title> <p> – Possible impact of installation of DPS on aeroplane fuel efficiency are shown. </p> </sec> <sec> <title content-type="abstract-heading">Originality/value</title> <p> – Application of DPS on long-range aeroplanes is new a engineering solution, which may allow to meet future advanced efficiency goals.</p> </sec> </abstract>
