SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on selecting suitable electric ducted fans for a hovercraft project designed to lift 10 kg with dimensions of 40 cm x 60 cm. Key considerations include calculating the required force for hovering, understanding the pressure that force generates, and accounting for potential air leakage around the skirting. Participants emphasize the importance of identifying fans that can deliver the necessary pressure and flow rate for effective hovercraft operation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics principles related to force and pressure.
  • Familiarity with electric ducted fans and their specifications.
  • Knowledge of hovercraft design and aerodynamics.
  • Experience with calculating airflow requirements for lift.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research electric ducted fans suitable for lifting 10 kg payloads.
  • Learn about calculating the force required for hovercraft lift.
  • Investigate hovercraft skirting design and its impact on air leakage.
  • Explore airflow dynamics and pressure requirements for hovercraft operation.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineering students, hobbyists designing hovercraft, and anyone interested in electric propulsion systems and aerodynamics.

what's suitable electric ducted fans to lift 10 kg diameter shaft and kv , hovercraft size 40cm x 60 cm i need help ergent please

What have you done so far? What force is required to hover? What pressure does that force equate to? What air leakage could you expect around the skirting? What fans have you found that can supply that pressure at that flow rate?
NB; these are the things that come to mind, I know very little about fan selection let alone hovercraft design
