Abstract

The invention relates to improvements to air propellers in so far as the profile of their blades is concerned. The law of evolution of the curvatures of the extrados 2 is the following: the curvature, maximum at the leading edge A, increases first of all rapidly to reach a value of about 4 at the point B at about 4% of the length of the chord, and then decreases regularly to reach a substantially zero value at the trailing edge F. The law of evolution of the curvatures of intrados 3 is the following: the curvature, maximum at the leading edge A, decreases first of all rapidly to reach a value of about 8 at a point D at about 3.5% of the length of the chord, then decreases less rapidly to reach a zero value at a point E situated between 10% and 60% of the length of the chord, decreases further to a slightly negative value and then remains practically constant as far as the trailing edge F.
