SUAVE 2.1.0
SUAVE 2.1 brings a host of upgrades, new features, and improvements to better meet emerging needs in industry, academia, and research. Code coverage is now at 85%, well on our way to improving SUAVE's Verification and Validation status. A longer list of improvements can be found below:
-Networks for the three core classes of eVTOLS - lift + cruise (stopped rotors), vectored thrust (tilt wings and tilt rotors) and multi-rotors
-Expanded energy networks: internal combustion engine, rotor, and dual battery ducted fan
-Updated optimization scripts, including new particle_swarm_optimization algorithm
-Rotor models
-Propeller and rotor model can now accept airfoil polars
-Updated links with SU2
-removal of "prop_attributes" data structure within the propeller data structure
-electric motor weight models
-Many little fixes
