Watch innovative propeller designs compete as engineers test performance, efficiency, and flight results. #RCPlanes #Aviation ...

Militaries around the world frequently release photographs and videos of submarines entering or leaving port. Yet if you look closely at them, one detail is typically missing: the propeller. In many ...

MIT researchers developed "toroidal" propellers that are significantly quieter and more efficient, theorizing their closed-loop design reduces noise-creating vortices more effectively. Discovered as a ...

Years after the space race, propeller design remained a sea-trial-and-error endeavor: haul, tweak the props, relaunch, sea-trial, repeat. Finally, the U.S. Navy paid ...

Quantum computing is moving beyond theory, with BQP using quantum optimization to redesign drone propellers in ways conventional computing cannot. BQP and Modovolo are using quantum-designed ...

Wärtsilä introduced the FPP Opti Design, a new fixed pitch propeller (FPP) design concept. According to Wärtsilä, the new design offers fuel savings of up to 4 percent and highly reliable full scale ...

French electric marine drive specialist BlueNav is preparing to put a more natural spin in its lineup. The all-new Whale Design propeller features blades that follow the contours of a whale to improve ...

Europe has recently voiced very high ambitions for reducing Aircraft community noise, with the Advisory Council for Aviation Research and Innovation in Europe (ACARE) pushing for a 65% noise reduction ...

Hydrocomp’s newest release of PropCad incorporates 3 years of enhancements. Propellers are surprisingly complex devices, especially considering most are a solid piece of metal with no moving parts.

When an obstacle appears without warning, a ship can't just slam the brakes — stopping a massive vessel involves reversing ...

Ever want to try your hand at propeller design? Last June 150 participants did just that at the Marine Industry Day in Fort Lauderdale. Given just thin copper square blanks and a few tools, ...
