NACA-TN-1303
A transonic propeller of triangular plan form
Year: 1947
Abstract: An isosceles triangle twisted into a screw surface about its axis is proposed as a propeller for transonic flight speeds. The purpose is to attain the drag reduction associated with large sweepback in a structurally practicable configuration. A mathematical theory for such a propeller is presented. Calculations taking account of wave and skin-friction drag indicate a net efficiency of the order of 80 percent at Mach number 1.1. A 12-foot propeller is estimated to be able to absorb 18,500 brake horsepower at 840 miles per hour at sea level.
