The University of Bristol is home to several highly instrumented propeller test rigs, which can be used in the UoB wind tunnel facilities, including the AAWT, NPWT and 7x5 wind tunnels for studying ...

In order to reach that goal a detailed knowledge of the highly unsteady flow around and in the wake of such propellers under various circumstances within the regular flight envelope and at their ...

Achieving supersonic flight poses challenges due to adverse aerodynamic effects and excessive heat. The airframe and engines must withstand these conditions. High-speed propellers face challenges ...

In the early 1930s, as aviation required more efficient propulsion systems, Luigi Stipa, with his expertise in aerodynamic ...
