A NUMERICAL METHOD FOR DRAWING A TAYLOR PROPELLER BLADE

This two-part Report is concerned with the development of a numerically-controlled method for drawing a Taylor propeller without using geometrical methods, thereby eliminating the inherent errors of Euclidean manual constructions. Part 1 presents approximation formulae for the various propeller parameters and explains the derivation of the theoretical method. Part II gives examples of the input routines established for the three main computer programs together with design diagrams produced by the automatic draughting machine. Order form BSRA as No. 49,012.
