So, let us look at this diagram a little bit. We also know from aerofoil theory that if you go on
increasing this angle- this angle alpha called the angle of attack- if I go on increasing this
angle of attack, lift increases more or less linearly like this- as I have shown here- that is, I
get small lift if the angle is small, and if my velocity angle of attack is more and more, I get
more and more lift. But very strangely beyond a certain lift angle, certain angle of attack- this
is angle of attack axis- lift suddenly drops that means, you do not get any more lift- this is
called the stall angle, it is called the stall angle. So, we have to design your propeller that the
lift is, the angle of attack is within this. Now, when you go reducing the angle, when it is at a
particular angle to the propeller there will be no lift, so that angle is somewhat this- this is
called the no lift angle; only when the angle is created with respect to that, start getting lift till
stall angle; so, our aim should be to design the blade sections so that you stay between no lift
line and stall angle- am I clear? We will stop here and next class we will continue with
propeller theories. Thank you.
