초록

According to the invention an increase of the effective displacement of air in an axial propeller, whose blades are not twisted, is achieved by applications of tab, substantially rigid, at the trailing edge of the blade, the maximum width of the tab being at the blade internal end.

An axial propeller comprising: a blade with constant inclination angle along its whole length (untwisted) and having a leading edge and a trailing edge, an upper surface and a convex lower surface which extend between said leading and trailing edges, said lower surface having a curvature greater than that of said upper surface, said blade having a proximal end for securing to a hub and a distal end and having a constant cross-section between said ends; and means for increasing the effective displacement of air generated by said blade near said proximal end, said means for increasing comprising a tab secured to said trailing edge of said blade, extending upwardly and outwardly from said trailing edge and having its maximum width toward the proximal end of the blade, its minimum width toward the distal end of the blade, said tab forming an angle of between 10°and 70°with the blade and located on the blade upper surface and the maximum width of the tab being not greater than about 30% of the width of the blade.
