Abstract:

Results of open-water tests were a series of five propellers at shaft angles varying from 0 to 15 degrees are presented. The five propellers are of the same design but with different pitch ratios. Within a limited scope of investigation, attempt has been made to determine the effect of shaft angles on propeller open-water performance. Author
