Abstract
In this study, designs of the high efficiency composite propeller blade for a high speed turboprop aircraft, which will be used for a next generation regional commercial aircraft in Korea, are performed. Both the vortex theory and the blade element theory are used for preliminary aerodynamic design and performance analysis of the propeller. Then the aerodynamic design result is confirmed through performance analysis using a commercial CFD code, ANSYS. The carbon/epoxy composite materials is used, and the skin-spar-foam sandwich type structure is adopted for improvement of lightness and structural stability. Finally, it is investigated that the proposed propeller blade has high efficiency and structural safety through both aerodynamic and structural analysis and experimental test of a prototype propeller blade.
