Popis: A new generation of aircraft with distributed propellers leads to operational performances superior to those exhibited by standard designs. Computational simulations and experimental tests show a reduction of fuel consumption and noise. This paper proposes an analogy between aerodynamics and electrical circuits. The model reveals properties similar to those of fractional-order systems and gives a deeper insight into the dynamics of multi-propeller coupling.
