Numerical Assessment of the Performance of Jet-Wing Distributed Propulsion on Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft

<p> Conventional airliners use two to four engines in a Cayley-type arrangement to provide thrust, and the thrust from these engines is typically concentrated right behind the engine. Distributed propulsion is the idea of redistributing the thrust across most, or all, of the wingspan of an ai...
