Pugh Evaluation rationale • In discounting the IC engine and the jet turbine, the Pugh Evaluation rationale • In discounting the IC engine and the jet turbine, the groups main focus was on the complexity of these designs. – Both designs will require some sort of controlled fuel delivery system which will then need to be integrated to the propulsion system • Variable pitch was also hit hard by complexity of design – The system will require miniaturized components that most likely would not be located commercially – It would require additional powered components for movement • All these systems would require excessive funds to produce, as well as put additional (excessive-IC/Jet) weight onto the airframe. • Shrouded and ducted propellers seem to offer the best chance for an overall increase in thrust before propeller optimization 13

Momentum Theory • Blade Element theory: – The airflow is treated as a 2 Momentum Theory • Blade Element theory: – The airflow is treated as a 2 D flow with no mutual interaction between blade sections. – The blade is composed of independent elements – The differential element of fixed chord, is located at a specific radius-chord changes with respect to radius 27

The Velocity Triangle • The propeller blade does not only feel the effects of The Velocity Triangle • The propeller blade does not only feel the effects of the upstream velocity, but also the velocity of rotation. • This is accounted for in the velocity triangle where actual velocity seen is the square root of upstream velocity squared plus tangential velocity squared. 28

Velocity Considerations • Since the foreward velocity of the MAV can be considered small Velocity Considerations • Since the foreward velocity of the MAV can be considered small compared to the rotational velocity of the propeller there isn’t much increase in velocity seen by the propeller • Even though small, the increase must be accounted for or errors in thrust analysis will occur 29
