Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design of small unmanned aircraft system propellers at low Reynolds numbers.
… tested. A Prandtl bell-shaped lift distribution, minimum induced loss design, was applied to a propeller resulting in decreased power consumption and improved electrical efficiency by 18.51% with a SPL reduction of 11.15 dBA compared against the Baseline propeller. The Baseline propeller used an …

Design of a Low Reynolds Number Propulsion System for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
… The methodology consists of determining the minimum induced loss lift distribution for the propeller via lifting line theory, efficient airfoil sections for the propeller via a coupled viscous-inviscid flow solver and optimization, brushless DC motor identification via ideal motor theory and …

Rotor Wakes; Formations, Interactions, and Design
… using a vortex filament in its place. The minimum induced loss (MIL) rotor has long served as the conventional baseline in rotor design. However, with the rise of DEP configurations, blown-wing systems, urban air mobility, and the widespread use of drones in populated environments, rotor …
