Propeller design

[Paulo Carvalho]

Dear friends,
I'm trying to design a propeller by using systematics series. I've read that the best serie for what I intend to do is the Kaplan serie but I can't find its graphics anywhere. Does anyone know where I can download it?
It would be really useful.
Grateful.

In general I suspect they are proprietary

Moreover, Kaplan designs vary as a function of application

And if you aren't careful you can end up with a design that requires material properties that are not available.
It is an iterative process.
