Funded Activity Summary

Optimal acoustic design of a composite marine propeller for signature management. Noise of maritime vessels affects passengers, crew and marine life. Composite marine propellers provide significant benefits over metallic propellers as they run more efficiently, thus consuming less fuel and run more smoothly, resulting in improved comfort for passengers and crew. From a military perspective, composite marine propellers provide reduced noise signature, resulting in vessels of greater stealth. Quieter propellers also significantly reduce the environmental impact of ships on marine life. This project will generate a new class of quiet composite propellers to be utilised by the maritime industry. The technologies developed by this project are applicable to rotors in other industries, such as aircraft, helicopters and wind turbines.
