Camber
What is Camber?
Camber is the curvature of the entire pressure face of the prop. Think of a swimmer cupping his hands to gain more force in each stroke. Positive camber allows the pitch to increase from the bottom LE(Leading edge) of the blade toward the top TE(Trailing edge). Starting at the bottom with 30”and moving to 34” at the top will give us an average pitch of 32”. This cambered prop will be faster than a non-cambered flat faced prop with the same pitch.
Pros
Cambered propellers are faster than flat faced props.
Cons
They require more power.
