First, I did try searching for this, with no success.

I have read most of the 2 vs 3 and up blade discussions. Also, the big/slow vs small/fast diameter ones.

How about a multi-level prop similar to the contra-rotating designs without the "contra"?

Think Bi-plane instead of Monoplane, with the lower (rear) blade spaced behind the top (front) blade.


I will now get my Nomex coveralls and fire extinguisher. Thank you.
