PROMPT

A wing (area S = 1 m², AR = 10) operates in static conditions (V∞ = 0) with N propellers fully covering its leading edge in a tractor configuration. Compare three configurations, operating at constant thrust: (a) N = 1 large prop, (b) N = 5 props, (c) N = 10 props. For each, compute the Lift-to-Thrust ratio L/T at CL = 1, 2, 3.
