Here you can find relevant updates on the project.
-
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.
-
New publication assessing rotor configuration trade-offs in quad-rotor forward flight
A new study published within the ENOLA project evaluates how rotor tilt and configuration affect quad-rotor power consumption, range, and wake interactions in forward flight.

Multifidelity surrogate presented at CEAS Torino
We presented in AIDAA-CEAS Torino results from ENOLA's first work package.A neural-network surrogate trained on mixed-fidelity data enables efficient, noise-aware propeller design with improved robustness compared to single-fidelity approaches
-
ENOLA modular drone design complete
The second work package of ENOLA is focused on designing, building, modelling and testing a modular UAV (drone). We're happy to report that the design phase of the work has been completed. Take a look at the finished design and drone configurations in this update.
-
Meet the improved propeller test bench
The first workpackage of ENOLA is focused on propeller modelling, testing an optimization. A crucial tool for the success of these tasks is accurate experimental validation, which is performed in our wind tunnel at UPV through a custom-built propeller test bench. In this update, you can find more information on this facility.
