This study numerically analyzes a distributed propulsive wing (DPW) for eVTOLs, focusing on variable lip/nozzle deflection. A parametric model and CFD simulations (MRF method) examine key geometric and flow parameters. Results show deflection angle critically affects aero-propulsive performance. The work provides design insights through aero-propulsive coupling.
