    Introduction {#mainpage}

    The tool propulsion_design is one of the core design tools in UNICADO. The overall goal is the design the propulsion based on...

    • the architecture (e.g. 2 turbofan at rear fuselage, 4 fuel cell prop engine over the front wing) set by the user and,
    • the total required thrust and system off-takes. This tool is exciting!🔥 because the propulsion is THE critical component providing the thrust or power, enabling to propel the aircraft forward and move through the skies.🌍

    To give you a general taste, here are a few illustrations of possible concepts.

    The getting started gives you a first insight in how to execute the tool and how it generally works. To understand how the tools works in detail, the documentation is split into a engineering principles and a software architecture section.

    Prior to that, let's summarize what the tool can currently do and what is planned (terms like method or strategy will be explained in the sections):

    Engine type Methods* Status
    kerosene-powered turbofan Rubber(V2527-A5)/ Default/ Default/ Default/ Default running
    hydrogen-powered turbofan Rubber(V2527-H2)/ Default/ Default/ Default/ Default to be tested
    kerosene-powered turboprop strategy integrated, but methods missing
    hydrogen-powered turboprop strategy integrated, but methods missing

    (*) order: engine designer/ nacelle designer/ pylon designer/ propulsion integrator/ mass analyzer

    So let's get started!
