Abstract: The stresses in tile blade of a propeller model were experimentally determined and are compared with theoretically analysed stress distributions and with full size measurements. The differences between theory and experiment due to scale effects arc discussed. The differences between theoretically analysed and experimental results are of such a nature that additional investigations in this held recommended.
