Testing the above propellers is a very good opportunity to realize once again that the type of our hull is the most important factor which defines the proper diameter propeller that should match in order to ensure the necessary thrust over the whole speed range.
So we have two propellers with completely different characteristics. However, their almost similar pitch helps us to see the role and influence of the relationship of diameter-number of blades-total blade surface, in this hull.
