Wake Instabilities of Tip-Loaded Propellers: Comparison between CLT and “New Generation” CLT Configurations
Tip loading is a common strategy to increase the propulsive efficiency of propellers. Solutions such as contracted and tip-loaded (CLT) and “New generation” CLT propellers exploit the presence of an endplate (“true” or as the result of a dedicated modification of the rake distribution) to sustain th...
