Drag reduction through distributed electric propulsion

·                     Solution to the low power of electric engines.

·                     Electric motors drive individual tractor propellers spaced along of wing.

·                     Lift increased at take-off and landing; drag decreased at cruise flight.

Brooks & Salgueiro [20]
