A method has been devised for determining the frequencies of the various modes of a stationary propeller and the associated crankshaft. A method has also been devised to obtain the effect of the centrifugal force on a revolving propeller by use of a flexible model.
This report gives the exact treatment of the problem of determining the 2-dimensional potential flow around wing sections of any type. The treatment is based directly on the solution of this problem as advanced by Theodorsen in NACA-TR-411. The problem condenses into the compact form of an integral equation capable of yielding numerical solutions by a direct process.
