Despite being integral to aviation for more than a century, propellers have changed remarkably little since the Wright Brothers. A team at MIT’s Lincoln Lab has developed a new propeller shape that ...

This paper by TSAW Drones discusses the need for less noise in UAVs, how these toroidals can benefit the drone industry, how these propellers came to be and how exactly they reduce the noise. Also, in ...

As industries across the board strive for greater efficiency and cost savings, a new technology has emerged as a potential solution: the toroidal propeller. This innovative propeller design, inspired ...

Abdulghani Mohamed is a researcher at RMIT university who receives funding from a few companies for undertaking aerodynamic optimisation. The basic configuration of traditional propellers has not ...

When comparing the efficiency of different wind turbine blade designs, [AdamEnt] found using a hair dryer wasn’t the best tool for the job. Enter his new 3D-printed wind tunnel. After several ...

Airborne drones are already widely used for filming and are expected to help deliver packages without being affected by traffic jams, but the noise emitted by drones can be an obstacle to widespread ...

These strangely-shaped twisted-loop propellers look like a revolutionary (sorry) advance for the aviation and marine sectors. Radically quieter than traditional propellers in both air and water, ...

(MENAFN- The Conversation) The basic configuration of traditional propellers has not fundamentally changed since the first powered flight by the wright brothers in 1903 . However, as engineers learn ...
