ABSTRACT:
A propeller having blades designed to achieve maximum thrust at lower static velocities in both forward and reverse pitch modes is disclosed. Each blade has a generous leading edge radius leading to an upper surface having positive camber and a lower surface having positive camber adjacent the leading edge and negative camber adjacent the trailing edge. Each blade also has a high thickness-to-chord ratio and lower span-to-chord ratio or aspect ratio. This thicker blade profile and aft loading leads to a more uniform pressure distribution and laminar airflow across the blade surface resulting in a higher coefficient of lift, increased blade life and reliability, and lower noise levels.
