The paper investigates a generic channel wing configuration regarding the aerodynamic sensitivities to design parameters. Numerical simulations include a variation of the channel depth, the chordwise position of the propeller and clearance for the simplified wing and actuator disk geometry. Evaluation of the lift-to-drag ratio of the wing and the propeller efficiency indicate complex dependencies between geometric parameters and aerodynamic performance. It is evident that a highly integrated design with large embedding depth and minimum gap size leads to most beneficial influences on the wing but an adverse effect on the propeller. As the propulsion system always suffers from this kind of installation, the mutual influence is not of synergistic nature. Evaluating a corrected lift-to-drag ratio which takes the thrust loss on the actuator disk into account, the figure of merit of the overall configuration is only little affected by the three design parameters. More specifically, a less close coupling is considered advantageous when aiming at high climb angles. Together with the expected shielding capabilities, a small noise footprint at take-off can be indirectly achieved through aerodynamically driven measures.
