Abstract
The blade profile for Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) is varied with the aim of knowing the effect of the shape of the blade profile on the thrust that can be generated by the EDF. The profiles used are FX 74-CL5-140, Naca 64(3)-418, and Naca 747A315 obtained from Airfoil Tools. The research method is to design and simulate the EDF with a variety of blade profiles that have been determined using the SOLIDWORKS 2021 software. The highest thrust results were obtained by the EDF with the Naca 747A315 blade profile variation, which is 31.5 Newton at 60000 RPM.
