Abstract:Conventional techniques used for measuring propellers geometric parameters are either destructive or in accurate or even time consuming. The outer surface of a two-Bladed wooden propeller of a powered Para-Parachute was scanned using a three dimensional laser scanner. A cloud of points has resulted out of the scanning process. Sections were taken in the cloud of points to draw the airfoil profiles at certain radii stations of the propeller, and then they were used to build a CAD model using CFX blade generator… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
