Description

"A method is developed for calculating the performance of a dual-rotating propeller from the section characteristics of the blade elements. The method is applied to an eight-blade dual-rotating propeller and the computed results are compared with low-speed wind-tunnel tests of the same propeller in both the tractor and pusher positions. The computations are found to agree within the experimental accuracy of the measurements" (p. 1).
