an electric propulsion and lift system for an aircraft that includes a plurality of electric motor / propeller assemblies on the flaps of the aircraft so that when the flaps are deflected for take - off and landings , the propellers are directed downward to provide thrust for power lift and increased airflow over the wing for aerodynamic lift . the motor / propeller assemblies are spaced apart and positioned along the entire length of the flaps to provide a distributed airflow .
