Advanced general aviation propeller study

Methods for predicting the performance, noise, weight, and cost of propellers for advanced general aviation aircraft of the 1980 time period were developed and computerized. This basic program was refined to incorporate a method of including the blade shape parameter, integrated design lift coefficient. This method and a reverse thrust computational procedure were included in the computer program. The weight equation was refined and also incorporated in the computer program. A User's Manual which includes a complete listing of this computer program with detailed instructions on its use has been written.
