Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An air vehicle (100) is provided including: a main lift generating wing arrangement (220) having a port wing (220P) and a starboard wing (220S), empennage (230) and main propulsion system (240). The air vehicle further includes a distributed electrical propulsion (DEP) system (300) having secondary electrical propulsion units (400) coupled to each one of the port wing and the starboard wing. The main propulsion system (240) is configured for providing sufficient thrust such as to enable powered aerodynamic flight of the air vehicle including at least: powered aerodynamic take off absent operation of the DEP system; and powered aerodynamic landing absent operation of the DEP system. The DEP system is configured for selectively providing at least augmented lift to the main lift generating wing arrangement in at least landing. A method for landing an air vehicle on a moving platform under separated wake conditions is also provided.
