Propeller-performance charts for transport airplanes

The preliminary selection of a propeller on the basis of cruising and take-off performance for application to transport airplanes at flight Mach numbers up to 0.8 can be accomplished by the use of charts and methods presented. The charts are of sufficient scope to permit a fairly rapid evaluation of the propeller performance for engine power ratings of 1,000 to 10,000 horsepower. The method is presented primarily in the interest of propeller-noise abatement.

Calculation of aerodynamic forces on a propeller in pitch or yaw

An analysis was made to determine the applicability of existing propeller theory and the theory of oscillating airfoils to the problem of determining the magnitude of the forces on propellers in pitch or yaw. Strip calculations using compressible airfoil characteristics were first made as though steady-state conditions existed successively at several blade positions of the propeller blades during one revolution. A theory of oscillating airfoils in pulsating incompressible potential flow was then considered from which it was possible to determine factors which would modify the steady-state forces.
