Abstract
In this study, the models with three, five and ten wings of the propeller which made a light aircraft fly were performed by air flow analyses. As for the flow model A with the shape with five wings, Model A can be seen to be the most ideal flow of air. The flow of air through the number of wings, which is not too many or too few, shows the most smooth flowing form. The smaller the number of propeller blades, the smaller the flow of air. Model A is applied under pressure of up to 0.5631 MPa at the front of air flow. Also, models B and C are applied under pressures of 0.5758 MPa and 0.5589 MPa, respectively. Comparing the pressure contours for each model of flux, model B can be shown to have the highest pressure distribution. The result of this study can be used to investigate the air flow without actual testing. It also seems to be helpful in the aesthetic convergent design of light aircraft propeller.
