Abstract
The considerations of this paper are relevant to maximizing the efficiency of lightly-loaded propellers, particularly such as are used on man-powered aircraft. They are also relevant, in a more qualitative fashion, to more highly-loaded propellers, (e.g. for motor-gliders) where noise reduction is important.
