Ventilated Propeller Performance.

Abstract

The thrust produced by and the efficiency of a ventilated supercavitating propeller were experimentally determined. Also, cavity pressure measurements were made by gages mounted directly on the rotating propeller blades and the signals were telemetered to stationary receivers. The test data are presented in a form useful for predicting propeller performance and airflow requirements. (Author)
