wrote: Hi all! Volf propeller hehttp://www.rexresearch.com/volfprop/volfprop.htm I have been thinking alot about how this propeller would do, I wish I had a workshop, CNC, and tools to build one.. this amazing prop is claimed to be *super quiet and efficient.. so any more info from the article on it or any *word of experience in propellers are very appreciated Looks like a ducted fan to me. Judging from the pictures, it's doubtful CFD existed when the patent was approved and modern rotor design would probably be more efficient. Technology progresses, ya know?
