Propeller design for solar powered glider / Azlin Mohd Azmi

This project involves designing a two blade propeller for a solar powered model size glider with a specified mission profile. A Software called JavaProp was used to assist in the design analysis. The solar powered glider has a weight of 0.662 kilogram with wing span of 2 meter, glide ratio of 19 and...
