Book Description
Summary: An analysis was made to determine the effect on propeller performance of extension flaps added to the trailing edge of a propeller blade. A method of calculating the changes in the ideal angle of attack, the angle of zero lift, and the design lift coefficient of a propeller blade section having a trailing-edge extension flap was utilized to calculate the performance of a six-blade dual-rotating propeller with extension flaps varying up to 40 percent chord. The method was used to determine the angle that the flap extension must make with the chord in order to obtain a particular load distribution. Although the analysis in this report was made for a wind-tunnel propeller designed to operate at low advance-diameter ration, the method is directly applicable to any propeller section under any operating condition.

Effect of a Trailing-edge Extension on the Characteristics of a Propeller Section

Pages : 17
Book Description
A method is presented to evaluate changes in airfoil characteristics resulting from extension of chord at trailing edge of propeller blade section. Method determines changes in angle of zero lift, angle of attack, and difference in these angles (upon which design lift coefficient depends) as function of angle and length of trailing edge extension. Treatment is based on thin-airfoil theory and is concerned only with mean camber line of section. Examples and detailed computations illustrate application of method, which is applicable to all propeller sections. Characteristics obtained were in perfect agreement with data calculated by exact method of arbitrary airfoil theory.

Book Description
Propellers with trailing-edge extensions were studied to determine aerodynamic characteristics. Trailing-edge extension increased power absorbed by propeller with little loss in efficiency. Power coefficient for maximum efficiency was greater for 20 percent camber type extension than for 20 percent straight type extension over range of advance ratio of 1.0 to 2.5 although camber type was less efficient. Efficiency was about the same for cruising and high-speed at a high power coefficient for propeller with extension.
