Wind-tunnel Tests of Single- and Dual-rotating Pusher Propellers Having from Three to Eight Blades

W.H. Gray

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

Report presenting tests of 10-foot-diameter, single- and dual-rotating pusher propellers with three to eight blades that were conducted in the 20-foot propeller research tunnel as a continuation of previous investigations of tractor propellers. The propellers were mounted at the rear end of a streamline body in spinners that covered the hubs and part of the shanks. The effects as compared to previous testing differed only in degree of effect size.
