A Bit About Blades
Like a wing, a propeller blade is characterized by its area, planform, and airfoil cross section.
Blade Inflow Angle
As the propeller moves through the air, each point on the blade follows a helical path.
Prop Momentum Theory
Proper selection and design of the propeller is one of the keys to airplane performance.
