A conceptual design level analysis of the application of Distributed Electric Propulsion to a GA Aircraft using a Partial-Turboelectric Configuration to investigate possible gains in performance, the sizing of the propulsive system and its effects on aircraft weight. Conclusion is that the feasibility of the design is very limited and the expected gains are not obtained.
