Hi Paul and group,
An engineer, from Texas related to the NexusMustang Yahoo groop, has
sent me this link. It is not related to rotary
engine. But I would
like to share this link with all of you.

That has been around for years. Airfoils are VERY VERY easy to test
for lift to drag ratio performance. If it was any good Boeing would
be using it.
Where are the lift to drag ratio curves? The web site is all BS.
A waste of your time.
Buy this cheap book and you will know as much as anyone knows
about wings.

Hi Paul and group.
I brought the subject of bicamber tech. So with a little research I got
theses data for the group to share. Please note that Paul Lipps is
working with Catto and Bicamber tech as specified on this link. This
Jim Smith was introduced to me by Paul Lipps.

Hi Marc,
I have been flying an Elippse 3 blade propeller (Designed by Paul
Lipps) on my 150hp RV-6 for
one year now.
Last June I tested a 2 blade propeller (Designed and built by Fred
Felix) that had the same tip shape
as my Elippse and also incorporated the Bi-Camber Technology.
Below are the flight test numbers at 4,000 Palt and 10,000 Palt for
both props.
4,000 Palt RPM IAS(mph) TAS(mph)
Effective pitch
Bi-Camber 2,778 170.8
183.5 69.7"
Elippse 2,740 180.8
193 74.4 " 18% more efficient
10,000 Palt
Bi-Camber 2,695 149
177.5 69.5"
Elippse
2,655 157.6 184.4 73.3" 14%
more efficient
Rate of Climb 2,000 to 10,000 Palt
Bi-Camber Avg. 774 fpm
Elippse Avg 916 fpm
The above numbers are an average of several test flights. Higher
speeds with fewer RPM and
a better rate of climb for the Elippse prop.
Gross T.O. Weight for all flights 1,440 lbs.
I am marketing the Elippse propeller (for Paul) for the Experimental
aircraft. If I can be of any further help,
please get back with me.
Thanks for the inquiry and intrest,
Jim Smith
