I am suspicious that the gains of the Custer wing mostly come from the center 90°
With that in mind has anyone ever seen only a portion of a Custer wing used ?
It seems like a portion whether it’s 180° arc or perhaps only 90 degrees in place under the propeller arc might add significant benefits.
Seems like this might be the easiest to add to pylon mounted engines due to balance considerations but even regular configuration pusher or tractor engines might be able to benefit.
Has anybody ever experimented with any of this stuff?
