Abdulghani Mohamed is a researcher at RMIT university who receives funding from a few companies for undertaking aerodynamic optimisation. The basic configuration of traditional propellers has not ...

As industries across the board strive for greater efficiency and cost savings, a new technology has emerged as a potential solution: the toroidal propeller. This innovative propeller design, inspired ...

As boring as propeller designs may seem to the average person, occasionally there’s a bit of a dust-up in the media about a ‘new’ design that promises at least a few percent improvement in performance ...

This paper by TSAW Drones discusses the need for less noise in UAVs, how these toroidals can benefit the drone industry, how these propellers came to be and how exactly they reduce the noise. Also, in ...

These strangely-shaped twisted-loop propellers look like a revolutionary (sorry) advance for the aviation and marine sectors. Radically quieter than traditional propellers in both air and water, ...
