It is of course impossible to consider propeller design very much in detail in a paper of this nature. It can be said, however, that the airfoil theory, in connection with the inflow theory, has given ...

Minimum induced loss propellers (and windmills) are the rotor analogues of elliptically loaded wings, characterized by minimum kinetic energy loss for a specified disc loading, number of blades, and ...
