Experimental Performance of Some High-Pitch Cycloidal Propellers.

Abstract

Open water test results of four high-pitch cycloidal propellers are reported herein. They were tested at various steering angles over a range of advance coefficients. The results show high thrust and maneuvering capability with these propellers at high advance - coefficients indicating the potential for high-speed application of these propellers. (Author)
