I need to understand just what is meant by this Effect. How much added lift does this produce? On yahoo answers they say that this has a minimal effect. However the FAA say's differently.
From the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook.
In the twin, an application of power blows large masses of air from the propellers directly over the wings, producing a significant amount of lift in addition to the expected thrust. The multiengine airplane, particularly at light operating weights, typically has a higher thrust-to- weight ratio, making it quicker to accelerate out of a stalled condition.
