Propeller Design

Propellers have gained popularity in recent decades as part of UAVs, multi-blade drones, and VTOL air taxis. However, modern books dealing with propellers are scarce. Most of the rotating wing literature concentrates on helicopters. Other books dedicate specialized chapters to propellers, in most cases as part

of general aerodynamic or performance texts. Propeller Design by Ohad Gur therefore fulfills a gap in modern literature amidst increased interest in the topic.

This book sums up three decades of the author's experience with propeller analysis and design. As such, special care is given to the suitability of the analysis as part of a synergetic design framework.
