Roadmap

Rotare is still under active development. As my thesis focuses on analysis of coaxial propellers and rotors, this will be the top priority during the following months.

Note: The following version numbers are a simple suggestion for the roadmap. It is very likely that some breaking changes will occur occasionally, forcing a bump of major version (1.x.x -> 2.x.x).

v1.0.0 - Single rotor

  • Single rotor/propeller
  • Varying airfoil
  • Custom chord/twist
  • Steady/hover
  • Axial flow
  • Tip/hub losses
  • Polar extension to [-180; 180] deg
  • Validation for hovering rotor
  • Validation for propeller in axial flow
  • Documentation: User manual

v1.1.0 - Complete documentation

  • Documentation: Technical manual

v1.2.0 - Extension models

  • Compressibility effects
  • Tip relief
  • Spinner effects

v1.3.0 - Coaxial in axial flow

  • Stahlhut solver
  • Indvel solver
