No, I don't mean a shrouded prop or ducted fan.
Just a ring around the prop to protect it from tip strikes and debris kicked up by the tires, on a pusher design.
Would that be detrimental to the prop performance?
I was thinking of a ring maybe 18 inches chord and 3 or 4 inches tip clearance. A symmetrical airfoil cross section to reduce drag.
