Wakeboard boat propeller 16 × 15 in, 4 blades (B4-70 series)
Model designed and computed with the Heliciel software. Design point: 1880 rpm at 10.00 m/s (36 km/h), J = 0.785, sea water. Exact geometry of the Wageningen B4-70 B-series at catalogue size: 16 × 15 in (406 × 381 mm), P/D 0.94, 4 blades. The pack holds both hands of rotation (right-hand and left-hand STL). Strength not guaranteed: at the design point the blade root does not hold in NAB bronze; thickness and material are to be sized for a real propeller.
The pack contains the complete propeller as a full-definition STL with root fillet, STEP surfaces (complete propeller and one blade), the Heliciel .hlc project and the computation records.

This model was designed and computed with the Heliciel software. For a custom propeller there are two ways: the Heliciel software (Windows: computation, 3D view, STL and STEP exports), and the Heliciel MCP connector, which lets your AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Le Chat and any MCP client — compute a real propeller, with a free 1-day discovery pass.
