A WIND-TUNNEL INVESTIGATION OF SOME SHORTCHORD LOW-SOLIDITY SHROUDED PROPELLERS IN THE CRUISE CONDITION,

Abstract

Two basic shrouds were investigated, each with a two- and a three-bladed propeller. Performance data in pitch were obtained. The report contains the results of the investigation, and includes information pertaining to the cruise performance of two powered shrouded propeller configurations with nominal length-to-diameter ratios of 0.1 and 0.2. Propulsive efficiencies in excess of eighty percent were obtained at thrust coefficients as low as 0.07. (Author)
