Wind turbines · Home and off-grid wind turbines (2.86 to 5.5 m)
Wind turbine rotor 2.86 m, 2 blades, 20° skew
Model designed and computed with the Heliciel software. Design point: 12 m/s wind, 600 rpm (tip speed ratio 7.5), best-efficiency speed found by Heliciel at the published rated wind speed of a commercial two-blade home wind turbine of the same diameter. NACA 64A410 airfoil and optimal Glauert chords for 2 blades, at the best-efficiency speed found by Heliciel; tip chord of at least 2.5 % of the diameter, as on Heliciel's wind turbine model. 20° skewed blades.
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.
