Abstract
The integration of distributed electric propeller systems on aircraft wings presents complex aerodynamic interactions that are not yet fully understood. This study investigates the slipstream deformation in a distributed propeller configuration and compares it with a single propeller setup, visualised by experimental measurements of total pressure in the wake. Furthermore, we investigate the effects of relative blade phase angle on the resulting deformation. Overall, we identify several phenomena in distributed propeller-wing aerodynamic interaction that warrant attention in future research.
