I'm hoping that there is a wheel that's already been invented.
Since the fans will turn at thousands of RPM, and since it will be difficult to make perfectly balanced fans (using a Chadwick or other dynamic balancing scheme on such a small scale model might be difficult), the structure must be robust. And lightweight.
Is there a means or method of generating optimal geometry for lightening holes in planar components such as ribs in wings and bulkheads of aircraft structures?
BTW, I just saw the suggested link to Aircraft Geometry Codes and will be looking into it.
Thanks.
