The Aerodynamic Design of Supersonic Propellers From Structural Considerations

Abstract

The aerodynamic design of propellers from considerations of centrifugal force is presented. A solution is obtained for the span wise distribution of cross-sectional area required to attain constant centrifugal stress over most of the blade.
