Pipeline for parametrization and geometry generation of a propeller blade
This tool aims to parametrize a given geometry of a propeller blade with chord, sweep, twist and thickness on different sections of the blade. With this data, a CAD file of the target geometry is generated in order to study the propellers in 3D software.

New BSc thesis - Numerical Modelling of the Influence of Quadcopter Arm Length
This Bachelor’s Thesis investigates the influence of quadcopter arm length on the aerodynamic flow field and overall vehicle performance. Two configurations, with arm lengths of 30 and 35 cm, were analysed using CFD simulations and a numerical performance model under hover, vertical flight and forward flight conditions.

Experimental and numerical propeller dataset now openly available
A new dataset is available in the "Data" section of the website. A database of propeller data gathered during project ENOLA is made available under a Creative Commons license, including geometries, experimental and numerical results.

New publication combining numerical methods to design wind turbine blades
Within the framework of the ENOLA project, a new scientific article has been published in the special issue “Cutting-Edge Applications of Wind Turbine Aerodynamics” from the journal Machines. This publication leverages the multi-fidelity numerical simulation methodology developed during ENOLA.

New publication assessing the MRF model for UAV CFD simulations
A new publication examines the validity of the Moving Reference Frame (MRF) CFD model for simulating UAV propellers under non-axial inflow conditions—specifically, in forward-flight regimes where aerodynamic loads become highly asymmetrical.
