There was an article several years ago in Sustainable Skies about 3 projects to place a propeller that rotated around the tail boom on a glider.
Ring Around the Tail Boom › Sustainable Skies
This seems like a good solution to the problem of prop clearance and would also give you minimum drag with a folding prop. This article was from 2014 and I haven't been able to find any updates or other projects using this idea. I want to power an ultralight glider and something like this I think would work very well for me. Is anyone aware of others using this idea, or reasons why this might not be a good idea?
