A panel method for counter rotating propfansA time domain source-doublet surface paneling method is developed for analyzing the unsteady loads on counter rotating propellers in incompressible irrotational flow. A scheme for treating the blade-wake interaction problem is described. Sample results for single rotation propellers are given, with comparisons to alternate theories and experiment. Finally, some preliminary results for quasi-steady and fully unsteady loads on counter rotating systems are presented.
