A device includes a hub and a blade. The hub has a cylindrical geometry. The blade extends radially from the hub. The blade has a helical structure. The blade includes a leading edge, a winglet, a trailing edge, and a trough. The leading edge is formed on the blade and has an arcuate geometry. The winglet of the blade is distal relative to the hub. The winglet angles away from a surface of the blade. The trailing edge is formed on the blade to be opposite the leading edge. At least a portion of the trailing edge forms a pitch-line cup that is angled with respect to the surface of the blade. The trough is formed in a transition between the pitch-line cup of the trailing edge and the winglet. The trough forms a recess that is relatively closer to the surface of the blade.
