Success of man powered aircraft depends upon efficiency of propulsive systems; propeller as means of thrust generation is discussed in terms of optimum advance ratio, solidity and power coefficient; levels of efficiency attained are compared with theoretical values of ideal propeller; aspects of efficient blade design; boundary layer and scale effects.
