The effect of blade-section camber on the static characteristics of three NACA propellers

John H. Wood, John M Swihart

Abstract

Report discussing static testing on 3 NACA two-blade propellers with design lift coefficients of 0, 0.3, and 0.5. Information about the effect of camber on the static-thrust figure of merit, the effect of camber on the stall-flutter speed, thrust coefficient, and blade flutter is provided.
