Enhancing Propeller Performance Through Design Modifications: A Study on Ridged Propeller Design
Abstract
This study analyzes a Ridged Propeller design using computational simulations to assess improvements in lift and turbulence compared to a conventional propeller. Three design versions (V1, V2, V3) were evaluated at a fixed RPM. The results show consistent lift enhancement and turbulence reduction across all versions. The findings highlight the aerodynamic benefits of ridge-based blade modifications for improving propeller performance in UAV and aerospace applications.
