Systems and methods for aircraft wing plug

An aircraft, comprising:

• a fuselage extending along a central axis from a nose to a tail, the nose disposed forward of the tail, the fuselage configured for accommodating passengers;
• at least one wing extending from the fuselage at an axial location between the nose and the tail, wherein the at least one wing includes first and second original portions and a plug portion positioned between the first and second original portions, the plug portion having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading edge and the trailing edge of the plug portion parallel to one another, the second original portion having a leading edge and a trailing edge converging toward one another in a direction away from the central axis;
• and
• a propulsion system positioned on the at least one wing, wherein the propulsion system includes at least one electric powerplant and at least one combustion powerplant, wherein the at least one electric powerplant and the at least one combustion powerplant respectively deliver power to a first air mover and a second air mover for propelling the aircraft, the first and second air movers disposed forward of the leading edge of the plug portion and both having an axially facing orientation for propelling the aircraft in a forward direction, wherein at least one of the electric powerplant or the combustion powerplant is positioned outboard from the plug portion.
