Many years ago I tried to write a Larrabee-type prop design program and a previous version appears in an old NFFS Sympo and later on Don Slusarczyk's indoor site. Since my program needed work, it was not quickly re-posted onto this forum.
About three years ago John Kagan's F1D in level flight was used as an example for Prof Mark Drela of MIT and John to design a prop to compare to John's actual prop. This thread gave some better Cl and Cd values for both wing and prop blades than I knew about before. I have used everything that I could from their discussion to help calibrate and improve my old program.
Downloading and extracting the posted, zipped file should give you a readme.doc file and a compiled.exe file to run.
Please test and use if you can and give me any feedback that you will.
Thank you.
