8x3.8 Propeller

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

A 8x3.8 propeller for airplane and multicopter designs.

I created a ruby script that uses prop geometry from http://www.ae.illinois.edu/m-selig/props/propDB.html and airfoil geometry from http://airfoiltools.com/airfoil/details?airfoil=naca4412-il to create 2d slices of the propeller. I then imported them into Solidworks and lofted them together to create the propeller.

The airfoil, chord, and betas are correct, however the positioning of each slice is estimated with a two part piecewise functions.

Please note that unlike my other propellers, this one has been thickened to ease 3d printing.
