Aeroelastic assessment of distributed electric propulsion wings
Abstract During recent years, aircraft manufacturers focused on environmentally friendly and aerodynamically efficient aircraft concepts that could allow a radical reduction of emissions. The use of a hybrid-electric powertrain is one of the most effective ways to design near-zero-emission aircraft.

Drag Reduction Through Distributed Electric Propulsion [PDF]
One promising application of recent advances in electric aircraft propulsion technologies is a blown wing realized through the placement of a number of electric motors driving individual tractor propellers spaced along each wing. This configuration increases the maximum lift coefficient by providing substantially increased dynamic pressure across the ...
