This paper presents propeller characteristics for two propellers that differ only in inboard pitch distribution. The forward Mach number range extended to 0.062 and the blade-angle range was from 20 to 55 degrees. Section thrust-coefficient data are also presented to afford a more detailed analysis of the effects of modifying the pitch distribution of the inboard sections of a propeller.
