    BLADE ELEMENT THEORY (BET) is a mathematical process
    originally designed by William Froude (1878), David W. Taylor (1893)
    and Stefan Drzewiecki to determine the behavior of PROPELLERS.

    It involves breaking a blade down into several small parts then
    determining the forces on each of these small blade elements.

    The blade is composed of aerodynamically independent,
    narrow strips or elements.

    BLADE ELEMENT THEORY (BET) has proven that basic
    aerodynamics can be applied to almost anything that will come in
    contact with airflow.
    This fundamental theory has helped produce a lot of propellers that we
    see today from small aircrafts to large ones.
