A 2,000-horsepower propeller dynamometer has been used in the Langley 16-root high-speed tunnel to make tests of a full-scale two-blade NACA 10-(3) (08)-03 propeller for a range of blade angles from 20 deg to 55 deg at airspeeds up to 500 miles per hour. The ability of the test equipment to measure propeller characteristics accurately is confirmed by the good agreement of the results of these tests with results obtained from a theoretical analysis and from previous tests made in other wind tunnels.
