Surface piercing propeller performance
This thesis addresses possible improvements in the efficiency (thrust) of surface piercing propellers; in particular with respect to the angle of the propeller shaft came to mind. Preliminary calculations based on the basic pitch/diameter geometry suggest that about 3-5% efficiency is lost if the sh...
