A model for computation of the time-averaged inviscid flow around airplane configurations with propellers is described. The propeller is replaced by an actuator disk in the Euler equations. The propeller forces are determined by a combined momentum-blade element theory. The computed results are compared to onedimensional theory, calculations with a panel method, and wind-tunnel experiments. The tested configurations include a full aircraft at subsonic speed. The influence of the grid resolution and numerical parameters is also investigated.
