"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).

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
