Lift and Drag Data for 30 Pusher-Propeller Shaft Housings on an NACA 65,3-018 Airfoil Section
Abstract
Interference effects were studied of various pusher-propeller shaft-housing combinations on low drag NACA airfoil. Thirty combinations of various shaft sizes, shapes, angles, and fillets were tested. Results indicate that drag increments increase roughly in proportion to shaft diameter, that increasing shaft angle causes large increases in drag increments, that fillets should be small but not abruptly ended, and that combinations with shaft angle greater that 0 deg cause slightly decrease in lift.
