Interesting thought. Does that actually pan out ? After all, that
additional lift takes energy which I think would result in less forward
thrust. Not sure that's a positive tradeoff.

Does anyone know why it is better ?
I'm not an engineer, but I think that having accelerated air from the props
along the whole length of the wing creates additional lift.
With a single prop the air from the prop would only add lift in the area near
the fuselage.
