| Summary: | This report is the first of a series of four on propeller design and contains a description of the blade element or modified Drzewiecke theory as used in the Bureau of Aeronautics, U. S. Navy Department. Blade interference corrections are used which were taken from R. & M. No. 639 of the British Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The airfoil characteristics used were obtained from tests of model propellers, not from tests of model wings. A short method is also shown in which the forces on only one blade element are considered in order to obtain the characteristics of the whole propeller. |
