Abstract

A technique is proposed of calculating the characteristic flight velocities for an airplane with taking into account the nominal performance of a piston engine. We consider an algorithm of design calculation for the airscrew blade geometry (twist angle, chord and optimal angle of attack along blade). Feasible rational versions of design parameters are discussed.
