Measurement of Time-Dependent Propeller Thrust and Correlation with Theory.

Abstract

The blade-rate time-dependent thrust generated by a two-, five-, and ten-bladed propeller operating in the wake shed by a strut has been measured for a range of propeller operating conditions. Predictions of the time-dependent thrust have been made based on two theoretical approaches; a two-dimensional strip theory, and a lifting surface theory. Comparisons of the predicted values and measured values of time-dependent thrust have been made. (Author)
