Summary:

This report is the first of a series of four on propeller design and contains a description of the blade element or modified Drzewiecke theory as used in the Bureau of Aeronautics, U.S. Navy Department. Blade interference corrections are used which were taken from R. and M. No. 639 of the British Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The airfoil characteristics used were obtained from tests of model propellers, not from tests of model wings.

A short method is also shown in which the forces on only one blade element are considered in order to obtain the characteristics of the whole propeller.
