Can NavCad evaluate cupped propellers?
NavCad’s prediction of cupped propeller performance is based on novel developments from HydroComp’s technical staff. The results of this study were presented at SNAME Propellers ’97 [MacPherson, D.M., Small Propeller Cup: A Proposed Geometry Standard and a New Performance Model]. A version of this prediction technique has been used in HydroComp PropExpert since 1997 with great success.
