Cover Story: New propulsive architectures, with high interactions with the aerodynamic performance of the platform, are an attractive option for reducing power consumption and improving the handling of fixed-wing UAVs. Distributed electric propulsion with boundary layer ingestion over the wing introduces extra complexity to the design of these systems. This work studies the effect of different combinations of angles of attack and propeller positions over the wing's pressure coefficient and skin friction coefficient distributions through extensive simulation. A proper orthogonal decomposition of the coefficient distributions is performed, which may be used to interpolate the results to non-simulated combinations, giving more information than the interpolation of the main aerodynamic coefficients, such as the lift and drag coefficients.
