ChetProp air or water propeller and spinner with front and back leg assemblies attached to spinner

摘要

An air or watercraft propeller comprises a plurality of blade systems wherein each blade system is composed of a front leg attached to a back blade. The front legs pull air or water towards spinner while the back legs use vertical suction to draw air or water towards the spinner to complement the air or water flow created by the front legs. The back legs are angularly attached to the spinner at approximately 60 degrees rotated from the spinner center line. The back legs are also tilted to an angle of approximately 60 degrees from the surface of the spinner. The front legs are attached to the back legs at an angle of approximately 60 degrees. The propeller system presents several equilateral triangles to maximize propulsion efficiency. The front legs are rigidly attached to the spinner while the back legs may be adjusted for pitch.

主权项

1. An aircraft propulsion system comprising:
a) a spinner comprising a spinner tip and a spinner base section; b) a front leg, angularly attached to the exterior of the spinner, the front leg comprising a front leg base section, front leg distal section, front leg leading edge, a front leg trailing edge, a front leg topside and a front leg bottom side; c) a back leg angularly attached to the front leg, the back leg comprising a back leg medial section, a back leg lateral section, back leg leading edge, a back leg trailing edge, a back leg topside and a blackleg bottom side; d) wherein the front leg is attached to the spinner at an angle of 40 to 80 degrees measured from a longitudinal spinner reference line spanning between the spinner tip and the spinner base section and a longitudinal front leg reference line spanning the front leg distal section and the front leg base section; and, e) wherein the front leg is attached to the spinner at an angle of 40 to 80 degrees measured from the surface of the spinner and a longitudinal lower surface front leg reference line spanning the lower surface of the front leg.
