Dear Paul:
Have you,or anyone else in the Group,examined the propeller designs of
the late Paul Lipps?
I think his Ellipse propeller design,its design,and its efficient,would
be a great lash-up to power a rotary powered airplane,once the
preliminary performance estimates are made for its application to the
airplane in question.
Contact magazine's website,and the EAA Experimenter's website have
features articles on the propeller.
I think yourself,and the Group should open a discussion on its
merits,and use it as a reference point, to compare its performance
versus the contemporary propeller designs powering rotary engined
already in use.
Best Regards.
Dave.
The thing about racing. If something is truly better it will be adopted by
all the racers if possible.
