VTOL propeller development in start-up environment

City air mobility transport with vertical take-off and landing capabilities challenges engineers across development spectra. Fast prototyping of parametric propeller geometry will be introduced as well as start-up approach to new geometry requirements. Capabilities and deficiencies of open propeller geometry software will be compared to classical licensed software approach.
SLA 3D printer used as a suitable tool for basic geometry evaluation and aero-acoustic testing will be described.
