In this paper, we show experimental measurements of total pressure behind a distributed propulsion wing, thereby visualising the deformation of the slipstreams. We compare with similar experiments with only a single propeller installed. Furthermore, we analyse the effects of relative blade phase angle between propellers in the distributed configuration.
