Blade Sophistication Improves Propeller Efficiency

Conventional prop working at design speed. Excellent alignment of the angle of the resulting airspeed and blade pitch, along the whole working radius.
Axial speed – deviates from design value. Discrepancies appear between the direction of the resulting airspeed and blade pitch, along the radius. Propeller efficiency drops.

Simultaneous Stall and Windmilling on The Same Blade – Happens Frequently, Undiscovered

Stallfree propellers have sophisticated blades. Both stall and windmilling regimes can be avoided – along the whole working radius, in a very wide range of axial speed.
