HYDRODYNAMIC ASPECT OF PROPELLER DESIGN BASED ON LIFTING-SURFACE THEORY. PART 2. ARBITRARY CHORDWISE LOAD DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

A propeller camber calculation method using Pien's scheme based on lifting-surface theory for any arbitrary, not necessarily uniform, chordwise load distribution is reported. The pertinent mathematical formulation and the relevant numerical computations are presented. Included also are the results of some sample calculations. The instructions for preparation of computer input data and the FORTRAN listing of the computer program are included.
