This research establishes a multi-fidelity framework to evaluate the stability of a regional electric aircraft. By integrating Digital DATCOM with VSPAERO/AVL simulations, it quantifies how shifting from nose-mounted to wing-tip mounted, inboard wing mounted and distributed wing-mounted propulsion effects the static margin and overall flight dynamics and stability of the aircraft.
