UIUC DA4002 (research design)
9×6.75 class · air · measured geometry
UIUC-designed research propeller (Deters, Ananda & Selig, AIAA 2014-2151): constant-chord c/R = 0.18 blade with the published design twist schedule, wind-tunnel tested at low Reynolds numbers. Geometry from the published design table; sections here are NACA-derived approximations of the DA4002 airfoil.
