Table 2.1 Load cases for open propeller
Load case | Force | Loaded area | Right handed propeller blade seen from back |
Load case 1 | Uniform pressure applied on the back of the blade(suction side) to an area from 0.6 to the tip and from the leading edge to 0.2 times the chord length | ||
Load case 2 | 50% of | Uniform pressure applied on the back of the blade(suction side) on the pro- peller tip area outside of 0.9 radius | |
Load case 3 | Uniform pressure applied on the blade face (pressure side) to an area from 0.6 to the tip and from the leading edge to 0.2 times the chord length |
| |
Load case 4 | 50% of | Uniform pressure applied on the pro- peller face (pressure side) on the pro- peller tip area outside of 0.9 radius |
|
Load case 5 | 60% of or which is greater | Uniform pressure applied on the pro- peller face (pressure side) to an area from 0.6 to the tip and from the trailing edge to 0.2 times the chord length |

Table 2.2 Load cases for ducted propeller
Load case | Force | Loaded area | Right handed propeller blade seen from back |
Load case 1 | Uniform pressure applied o the back of the blade(suction side) to an area from 0.6 to the tip and from the leading edge to 0.2 times the chord length | ||
Load case 3 | Uniform pressure applied on the blade face (pressure side) to an area from 0.6 to the tip and from the leading edge to 0.5 times the chord length |
| |
Load case 5 | 60% of or which is greater | Uniform pressure applied on the pro- peller face (pressure side) to an area from 0.6 to the tip and from the trailing edge to 0.2 times the chord length |
