Why is 5 on each wings a stretch? With electric motors you have a lot more flexibility, and distributed propulsion has some significant benefits. Check out maxwell X-57 for research on this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_X-57_Maxwell https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_X-57_Maxwell Electric planes will probably look very different from modern turboprop/turbofan planes by the time they’re fully optimized for electric propulsion.
