Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: – This paper aims to consider main challenges of development of advanced architectures of propulsion systems, i.e. distributed propulsion systems (DPS). Design/methodology/approach: – This paper is a comparative analysis of different types of DPS. Findings: – 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. Research limitations/implications: – Additional comprehensive numerical and experimental researches are needed to approve the efficiency of DPS. Practical implications: – Possible impact of installation of DPS on aeroplane fuel efficiency are shown. Originality/value: – Application of DPS on long-range aeroplanes is new a engineering solution, which may allow to meet future advanced efficiency goals.
