HYDRODYNAMIC ASPECT OF PROPELLER DESIGN BASED ON LIFTING-SURFACE THEORY. PART 1. UNIFORM CHORDWISE LOAD DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

This report presents a method of the propeller camber calculations for the case of uniform chordwise load distribution employing the lifting-surface theory. This is essentially a refinement of Pien's published work on propeller lifting-surface theory. Mathematical development pertinent to the numerical computation is reviewed. Details of the computational procedure and method are outlined, and results of sample calculations are included. A detailed instruction for preparation of input data for the computer, samples of the computer input data and output, and the FORTRAN listing of the computer program are also given.
