Abstract
The MH-75 propeller for the MAV propulsion is designed using a free vortex design method which considers design parameters such as the hub-tip ratio, the twist angle distribution, the maximum camber location and the chord length of the propeller blade. Aerodynamic characteristics of the MH-75 propeller are predicted by changing the flight speed using the frequency domain panel method. And, the thrust characteristics of the MH-75 propeller are measured using the balance system of the subsonic wind tunnel for the validation of numerical results. The performance characteristics of the MH-75 propeller satisfied with design requirements. Numerical results of the MH-75, which are predicted by the frequency domain panel method, are more agree with experimental results compare with XFOIL.
