Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2826706A1] Provided is a marine propeller that strikes a favorable balance between suppressing cavitation at a blade tip and avoiding stress concentration in a propeller blade. Two inflection points are provided in a rake distribution of a propeller blade (10) of a marine propeller, where a portion from a blade root section (11) to the first inflection point (12) has a backward rake and a portion from the first inflection point (12) to the second inflection point (13) has a forward rake. The portion from the second inflection point (13) to a blade tip (14) has zero rake so as to be orthogonal to the propeller shaft line A-A. The first inflection point (12) is preferably at a position that is 40 to 60% of the propeller radius, and the second inflection point (13) is preferably at a position that is 80 to 95% of the propeller radius.
