Aircraft industry is still in the early stages of pure electric propulsion systems development, the main concern is the significant mass of batteries. As such, hybrid electric systems have gained much stakeholder attention in the recent years. At the same time, interest in distributed propulsion systems is also increasing, due to the improvement in aerodynamic efficiency compared to conventional configurations. This paper investigates these two fields, presenting the results of two correlated studies. The first study deals with:
