Experimental Investigation of a Variable Pitch Propeller at Various Incidence Angles in Foward Flight

Citation: 71. Parlett, Samuel L., Jielong Cai, Sidaard Gunasekaran, and Michael Ol. "Experimental Investigation of a Variable Pitch Propeller at Various Incidence Angles in Foward Flight." In AIAA SCITECH 2025 Forum, p. 1267. 2025. https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2025-1267

Short abstract: We extend our experiments on fixed-pitch propellers in forward flight at various incidence angles with respect to the freestream, to a propeller with variable collective pitch. Different combinations of blade pitch, incidence angle, and flight speed were tested at the University of Dayton Low-Speed Wind Tunnel in an open-jet test section.

Experimental Investigation of a Variable Collective Pitch Propeller in Near Edgewise Flight

Citation: 78. Parlett, Samuel L., Jielong Cai, Michael V. OL, and Sidaard Gunasekaran. "Experimental Investigation of a Variable Collective Pitch Propeller in Near Edgewise Flight." In AIAA SCITECH 2026 Forum, p. 0026. 2026. https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2026-0026

Short abstract: We extend our experiments on fixed and variable collective pitch propellers in forward flight, to near-edgewise flight conditions. Different combinations of blade pitch, incidence angle, and flight speed were tested in an open-jet test section wind tunnel, at incidence angles of 75 to 100 degrees.
