Wakesurf boat propeller 17.5 × 15 in, 4 blades (B4-70 series)
Model designed and computed with the Heliciel software. Design point: 951 rpm at 5.00 m/s (18 km/h), J = 0.710, sea water. Exact geometry of the Wageningen B4-70 B-series at catalogue size: 17.5 × 15 in (444 × 381 mm), P/D 0.86, 4 blades. The pack holds both hands of rotation (right-hand and left-hand STL).
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.

Need a propeller for your own parameters?
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.
