Is it possible to design a propeller such that the blades follow a race track between two shafts separated by the length of a wing? In this way, the prop wash would be distributed evenly across the surface of the wing. The opposite side wing would have the same arrangement turning in the opposite direction to counter the gyro and torquing forces. This distributed prop wash could assist in low speed take off by generating lift from ground-speed zero.
Thanks
