In this video, we used the 3D model of our wooden WW2 era propeller blade to run CFD simulations. We were able to analyze the propeller performance in function of the blade pitch angle and found different optima for max thrust and max efficiency.

In the next video, we'll be mounting this propeller on a full 3D model of a WW2 era aircraft!
