Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

The technology needed for the design and installation of propellers is presented and summarized in three volumes. Volume I (Aerodynamic Design and Installation) contains the basic theory and necessary design procedures for establishing the external geometry and performance of any propeller. The procedures and data which apply for both single and dual rotation propellers are established for the entire range of flight conditions. The performance of propellers operating at off design condition, high values of shaft angle of attack and negative thrust condition is given.
