"Leviterande" wrote in message ... I am into vtol craft and thats why i am into the most efficient not so huge propellers, i pilot rc models and am currently testing several designs the propellers is the most important part of a vtol engine ofcourse has to be light but todays engines are superb in that aspect Have you reviewed the propeller and rotor types currently flying on state of the art VTOL aircraft? Real helpful google boi. Bertie |

"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... Bull****. You tripped on your ****** on your first post (probably drunk again) and have been stumbling to rationalize it ever since. Nope. Don;t you think you're being a bit hard on yourself calling yourself a ******, though? Oh wait, you don't know what one is because you're a fjukktard. Sounds just like Anthony. Yeh, right. Bertie |

Leviterande wrote it is new and simple propeller claimed to produce 200 pounds of static thrust at a 85cm diamter with a 30hp! Thrust has nothing to do with efficiency. If the engine weighed 200 pounds it develops 200 pounds of thrust downward just sitting there. Horsepower measures work, in common units that would be about moving 33000 pounds a foot every minute (I may be wrong about that number). You told us the work going in -- that's 30 hp. What is the work coming out? Maybe you should define your problem or issue differently. It now seems to be you're trying to do something with an RC model. What exactly is your objective? Tell us that, and you'll have a better chance at getting a useful answer. My understanding is that RC models have power to burn -- way more than scale -- but my knowledge of that world is very limited. ************************************************** ******************* Your 100% correct. I have built a number of model aircraft with unlimited vertical performance. One I sat on it's tail in a cardboard box and took off vertically out of box to the impress my straight and level flying friends. Big John |

I was just thinking of testing a thick-chord fan with 4 blades and a medium AOA. it should be geard to the motor unless the motor has a very high torque. My idea is that efficiency should go up when one use a geared system the propeller is a standard slowfly 10x4,7 rpm is around 7000-8000 if we instead took a 7 inch impeller with larger blades moving more air at one revoltuion , i tmeans it makes more drag and resistance to the motor shaft.. now if one calculate the required data and put reduction gear to the motor. the thrust out put should be equal at less rpm and smaller propeller and with the same efficiency! Helicopters and other VTOLs are complicated because they have to be. One of the things that bugged the early experimenters was gyroscopic force; any time we change the plane of rotation of a prop or rotor we get precession, which results in a loss of control unless the system is designed to deal with it. A fixed-pitch rotor can't do that, and the larger it is and faster it turns the worse the effects of precession. Current helicopter designs all take advantage of precession to tilt the rotor disc, applying blade lift at 90 degrees ahead of the desired blade rise. The other factor is the necessity of being able to glide. No fixed-pitch rotor is going to do that (unless it's an autogyro, with an undriven rotor and very low pitch angles) and even some sink could cause blade stall and loss of control. Do the research. Find out, the easy way, whcy others couldn't make work. Google "Moller," for instance. Dan |

A smaller diameter prop would get a lot of velocity across the fins, and that could be used to offset rotation and could tilt the axis for translation. It might take a little computer power, or maybe just a skilled pilot, for easy control. It would have to be a labor of love, I doubt there's a DOD or commercial use for such a device. |

I'm not arguing that. But it depends on a lot of things. A lot of turboprops have relatively wide chord scimitar props, for instance. My point was really more directed towards the sentiment that efficiency shoud be described in such narrow terms. Most people want an airplane to go from A-B real fast and burn as little fuel as possible, but that doesn't mean that it's nore efficient than an airplane that excelles in some other way.. Bertie And all your input has had zip **** to do with "Silent Super Efficient Propellers". Quit rattling your empty head. You're starting to sound like Anthony again. |
