Propellers are fundamental to transport all around the world and combine so many interesting engineering principles. This is why I have loved learning about new ones so much since reading about Toroidal propellers around a year ago. This video covers Cycloidal Propellers, with some specifics on the Voith Schneider Propeller and the ABB Dynafin. We will also check out Cyclotech and see how they are getting on using the cycloidal propellers for flight.
