eVTOL Rotor Wake Interaction and Thrust Loss
Estimate thrust loss at fixed power or added power at held thrust for interacting eVTOL rotors. Includes conservative contracting vortex-ring wakes, forward-flight skew and marked sensitivity sweeps.

Estimate eVTOL hover and cruise power, battery energy per trip, reserve requirements and landing SOC. Animate the mission and compare cruise distance with the available energy budget.
Estimate static propeller thrust or required shaft power with momentum theory and a figure of merit. Compare thrust-to-weight and an idealised, inflated-wing paramotor ground run.
Estimate multicopter hover time from battery energy and rotor physics. Check thrust-to-weight ratio and payload limits for a chosen endurance target.
