  • A design method for high efficiency propeller was presented. This method could calculate the geometric characteristics of maximum efficiency propeller, including the chord distribution, pitch-angle distribution, efficiency, thrust coefficients, torque coefficients and power coefficients based on the given flight velocity, rotating speed of propeller, thrust, diameter, blade number and airfoil. The propeller of an aircraft was designed using the parameters under climbing and cruise conditions, respectively. The chord distribution and pitch-angle distribution were obtained. Wind tunnel test of scaled model of propeller (diameter 0.84m) was carried out. The test results show that cruising efficiency of propeller is 83.02%, and climbing efficiency is 79.13%.
