Velocity Distributions Measured in the Slipstream of Eight-blade and Six-blade Dual-rotating Propellers at Zero Advance
Investigation at Mach Numbers to 1.04 of Blade-loading Characteristics of Two Full-scale Three-blade Supersonic Propellers Differing in Blade-section Camber
Aerodynamic Characteristics at High Speeds of Related Full-Scale Propellers Having Different Blade-Section Cambers
Wind-tunnel tests of a full-scale two-blade NACA 10-(10)(08)-03 (high camber) propeller have been made for a range of blade angles from 20 degrees to 55 degrees at airspeeds up to 500 miles per hour. The results of these tests have been compared with results from previous tests of the NACA 10-(3) (08)-03 (low camber) and NACA 10-(5)(08)-03 (medium camber) propellers to evaluate the effects of blade-section camber on propeller aerodynamic characteristics

Memorandum presenting total-pressure surveys made in the slipstreams of two full-scale three-blade supersonic propellers in the 16-foot transonic tunnel at Mach numbers up to 1.04 to determine the effects of camber on supersonic-propeller characteristics. The two propellers were similar except that one of them had symmetrical blade sections and the other had cambered blade sections and a slightly different pitch distribution. Over the complete range of the tests, the cambered propeller maintained higher thrust and efficiency

Report presenting an investigation of NACA 8.75-(5)(05)-037 eight- and six-blade dual-rotating propellers under static conditions. The slipstream-boundary cone angle was found to agree with the theoretical angle of spread for an unheated jet. Results regarding the longitudinal survey, stationary survey, effect of blade angle, nature of flow near propeller, and effect of blade angle on slipstream rotation are provided
An Investigation of the Effect of the WADC 30,000-Horsepower Whirl Rig Upon the Static Characteristics of a Propeller
Tests have been made at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory on a 6000-horsepower propeller dynamometer installed at a ground test facility to determine the effect of a half-scale model of the Wright Aeronautical Development Center 30,000-horsepower whirl rig upon the aerodynamic characteristics of a three-blade NACA 10-(3)(062)-045 propeller. The model of the whirl rig was mounted in front of the 6000-horsepower propeller dynamometer. Static propeller tests were made for 0deg, 5deg, 10deg, 15deg, and 20deg blade angles over a range of rotational speeds from 600 to 2200 rpm in 100-rpm increments. Measurements were made of propeller thrust and torque, stresses in the propeller blades, and static and total pressures over the surface of the model. Propeller thrust and torque were increased up to 33 percent by the presence of the model of the whirl rig, but the average increase was from 5 to 10 percent. Blade vibratory stresses were small
