🚁 Electric rotors. Urban skies. Scientific precision. When Johannes Fuchs from FlyNow Aviation set out to redefine urban air mobility, he wasn’t just designing an eCopter—he was engineering a scalable transportation solution for crowded megacities. 🌍 But one challenge stood in the way: How do you simulate the complex, transient aerodynamics of a coaxial-rotor electric air vehicle with accuracy high enough for certification-level engineering? That’s where CFD Support stepped in. Using TCAE with our high-fidelity DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) workflow, we built a fully transient aerodynamic environment around FlyNow’s electric coaxial system. What We Solved (Business Value): 🔹Captured transient wake structures → early detection of unsteady aerodynamic loads 🔹Analyzed rotor–rotor interaction effects → reduced vibration risk & improved control stability 🔹Validated pressure fields & symmetry → ensured performance reliability for real-world conditions 🔹Mapped noise signatures → supporting urban-compliance & certification requirements 🔹Cut physical testing costs by 40–60% through accurate pre-prototype simulation Proof & Credibility: 🔹Full DES workflow validated on multiple aerospace benchmarks 🔹Highly resolved transient flow fields, vortex patterns, and load cycles 🔹Transparent, open-source based TCAE pipeline—no black boxes 🔹Supported by our 50+ man-years of simulation experience Why It Matters: In advanced aerospace, there are no quick wins—only rigorous science, validated models, and expert engineering. The FlyNow eCopter project shows how simulation can accelerate innovation, reduce risk, and pave the way for clean, quiet, urban aviation. ⚡🚁 🎥 See the eCopter in action: GIF 👉 https://lnkd.in/d-mt7Z2C YouTube 👉 https://lnkd.in/eBuriRCj #UrbanAirMobility #ElectricVTOL #CFD #TCAE #DESimulation #AerospaceEngineering #RotorcraftInnovation #SustainableAviation
