An Investigation of the Aerodynamic Performance for a Fuel Saving Double Channel Wing Configuration

An Investigation of the Aerodynamic Performance for a Fuel Saving Double Channel Wing Configuration

This paper presents a fuel saving double channel wing (FADCW) configuration for a propeller driven aircraft to reduce fuel consumption. In pursuit of this objective, FADCW configuration combines the tractor propeller layout and over-the-wing propeller layout. The basic idea is to improve the wing li...
