  • @nosojdjos The blades are flat and modeled using unsteady lifting line theory.... an additional layer of abstraction from a full panel code, but also a bit faster. Also easier to use airfoil data tables, though that includes its own set of challenges (2d versus 3d effects, spanwise flow, etc.).

  • Are the blades completely flat or they have a cross section profile ?
