A Computational Investigation of Wing Embedded EnginesMichael FarrowMEng Aerospace Engineering
The Embedded Argument
For• Reduction in Weight• Reduction in Viscous Drag• Potential Reduction in
Pressure Drag• Potential Noise Reduction
Against• Optimisation of Inlet
Efficiency is Difficult• Engine Failures/Fires are
More Dangerous• Maintenance and Upgrade
Hampered by Structure

Conclusions
• Embedded Configuration Optimal - External Aerodynamics– Minimum Lift Loss– Less Viscous Drag than Podded– Less Pressure Drag than Podded AND Clean
• However:– Optimisation Required for Both Configurations– Serious Structural Questions Remain– Design & Investigation of Duct Flow Required
