Abstract

General aviation aircraft generally uses the piston engines and propellers as its power plant. The performance calculation of the propeller is of great significance in the phase of the plane design. Based on the standard strip analysis, this paper presents a numerical procedure, and carries on the calculation and analysis of a certain type of propeller performance. It includes, thrust coefficient changes with the advance ratio; torque coefficient changes with the advance ratio; power coefficient changes with the advance ratio; propeller efficiency changes with the advance ratio. Compared with the results of the tunnel test, the paper verifies the rationality of the calculation results.
