Dependence of Propeller Efficiency on Angle of Attack of Propeller Blade (open access)

Dependence of Propeller Efficiency on Angle of Attack of Propeller Blade

In order to determine the maximum and the most favorable pitch for a propeller, it was found desirable to investigate the dependence of propeller efficiency on the angle of attack of the propeller blade. The results of a few experiments are given to show that propeller blades conduct themselves just like airplane wings with reference to the dependence of their efficiency on their angle of attack.
