Propeller Design

Task: Worked with 2 other members to design, analyze, test, and manufacture propellers for different types of races (i.e. sprint and endurance races)

​​

​

 

 

Designed 2 propellers using OpenProp, a propeller-developing software created by MIT graduate students. 

     a) Sprint propeller is optimized for speed

     b) Endurance propeller is optimized for efficiency
