Propeller Blade Design:

        All phases of design including definition of requirements, parametric study, preliminary design, detail design, and manufacturing surface definition

        New construction, repower, and backfit propellers

 

Section Design:

        Development of blade section thickness and loading distributions for use in detail design

        Applicable to propellers, struts, rudders, foils, and other lifting surfaces

 

Propeller Assessment/Troubleshooting:

        Is an existing propeller performing below expectations?  Can the prop or the operating envelope be tweaked to obtain acceptable performance? 

 

Software Development:

        Development of physics-based modeling codes

        Tie existing physics, pre-, and post-processing codes together with a common database
