The aerodynamic and aeroacoustic interaction effects between propellers and between propellers and wing are being investigated experimentally in a wind tunnel. The results will bring a better understanding of these interactions, which will allow the elaboration of good practices for distributed electric propulsion conceptual designs, and provide a database for validating computational tools.
