About this document

Ducted Fans vs. Propellers in Aviation by Rameez Ul Haq is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Zunum Aero uses ducted fans instead of propellers for propulsion. The aircraft uses a series hybrid system with batteries powering the ducted fans for short trips and a gas turbine range extender providing up to 5 MW of power. Operating costs are expected to be 40-80% lower than comparable aircraft powered by aviation fuel. The purchase cost is aimed to stay below $4.5 million.
