Airflow favorably altered if propeller placed above and behind wing. Relocating propeller induces flow over wing airfoil leading edge, which produces leading-edge suction forces not usually attainable by wing in free-stream flow. Concept reduced drag significantly on aircraft model in 12-foot (3.7-meter) wind tunnel. Relocation also helps to reduce cabin noise.
