Propellers for High-Speed Aircraft
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2016
Extract
In presenting this paper an attempt has been made to examine the development of current propeller theory and practice to cover the range of aircraft speeds between 450 and 550 m.p.h., which at 36,000 ft. represents a flight Mach number range of about 0.68 to 0.83. Inevitably in such a discussion it has been necessary to peep over the wall into the realms of higher speeds, but no serious attempt has been made to cover such a controversial region because of the lack of experimental data.
