SHROUDED PROPELLER TEST PROGRAM DATA ANALYSIS. VOLUME 1

Abstract

This report contains and summarizes the shrouded propeller test data obtained in a comprehensive wind tunnel test conducted by Hamilton Standard in the United Aircraft Subsonic Wind Tunnel test facility. These data include the effects of varying the shroud parameters of lip shape, exit area ratio, propeller position, shroud chord length, and exterior shape, and propeller parameters such as planform distribution, number of blades and tip clearance. Each of these parameters was tested over a wide range of propeller power loadings, tip speeds and free-stream Mach numbers. These data were then reduced in a manner in which the effect of variations of each parameter change on performance could be separately evaluated.
