An Assessment of a Regional Turboprop Featuring Wingtip-Mounted Propellers: Design Integration Coupling Propeller-Wing Aerodynamics and Structural Wing Weight

The current focus in the aviation industry for more sustainable designs, could mean the revive of propeller propulsion, due to their relative high propulsion efficiency compared to jets. In addition, the application of wingtip-mounted propellers installed in tractor configuration can be used as tip-vortex attenuating devices, reducing the wing...
