I would like to design my ultralight with dual motors but have them in-line with each other rather than say, one on each wing. The motors would likely be rotax 277 (27 hp). They would be placed either with one on the nose and one at wing height right behind the cockpit, or both behind the wing. In the later case, the part of the fuselage that extends back towards the tail would be made up of two parts (One on each side of the propeller blades), and instead of meeting the middle of the tail, each one would meet at one side of the tail. My reason for wanting two motors is obvious, possibility of engine failure. That paired with a parachute and I would feel really safe. Please, let me know your thoughts!
