Abstract
Toroidal propellers are a technology that was first applied on drones to reduce noise during flight, the same technology is used today on boats to improve propulsion efficiency and grant a quieter cruising experience. This document will show the main working principles of this type of propeller, its advantages and disadvantages over its predecessors and various fields of application where toroidal propellers could improve the current state of the art.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
