    Abstract: An apparatus and system for a marine propeller assembly are provided. An aft retention member that may be used with the marine propeller assembly includes a base, an opposing nose and a conic body extending therebetween along a centerline normal to the base. The aft retention member also includes at least one protuberance extending radially away from a surface of the conic body. The protuberance extends axially along a surface of the aft retention member from the base arcuately convergent to a predetermined point between the base and a tip of the nose.

    Abstract: A propeller assembly is provided. The propeller assembly includes a central hub including a forward end, an aft end, and a hub body extending therebetween along an axis of rotation of the central hub. The propeller assembly further includes a first retention member including a first radial interference member, the first retention member coupled to the forward end of the central hub and a second retention member including a second radial interference member, the second retention member coupled to the aft end of the central hub. The propeller assembly also includes a fairing platform extending between the first retention member and the second retention member, wherein the fairing platform is retained by the first radial interference member and by the second radial interference member.

    Abstract: A blade member includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a blade body extending therebetween. The blade member also includes a dovetail, a transition region, and a transition relief. The dovetail includes a dovetail chord line extending between an axially forward face of the dovetail and an axially aft face of the dovetail. The dovetail chord line has a dovetail chord length. The transition region is formed between the blade body and the dovetail. The blade body and the transition region form a blade body transition chord line at the interface of the blade body and the transition region which has a blade body transition chord length. The transition relief includes a geometric relief in at least one of a forward and an aft end of the transition region and the dovetail. The dovetail chord length is less than the blade body transition chord length.

    Abstract: A marine propeller composite blade an axially extending composite blade root including a dovetail wound in a partial spiral or helix around a centerline. Dovetail tapering down in width between clockwise and counter-clockwise dovetail sides of dovetail from dovetail bottom in a radially outwardly direction away from centerline. Marine propeller may include composite blade roots mounted in axially extending hub slots in a metallic hub, axially extending wedges disposed within the hub slots circumferentially between the blade roots and one of clockwise slot sides and counter-clockwise slot sides, and the wedges abutting the blade roots and the one of clockwise slot sides and counter-clockwise slot sides. Wedges and hub slots wound in a partial spiral or helix around a centerline. Radial retention means for radially retaining wedges in hub slots may include bolts engaging wedges and screwed into threaded holes in hub.

    Abstract: A hybrid metal and composite spool includes metal rings on an outer diameter of a composite spool shell. Metal rings may include features such as annular or axial dovetail slots. Adhesive layers may be between the metal rings and composite shell which may be connected by a shrink bonded joint. The metal rings may include a single seal tooth ring with an annular radially extending seal tooth. A method for fabricating the spool may include fabricating one or more metal rings with the features therein, positioning the metal rings in place on an outer surface of an uncured composite spool shell of the spool before curing the shell, and curing the shell with the one or more metal rings positioned in place. Alternatively, rings may be heated to a temperature at least sufficient to slide rings over a cured composite shell, and allowed to cool and shrink onto shell.

    Abstract: A composite blade includes a composite airfoil section having airfoil pressure and suction sides extending chordwise between airfoil leading and trailing edges, a dovetail root attached to airfoil section and a blade shank therebetween, and a metallic leading edge shield covering an axially extending portion of airfoil section including at least a portion of airfoil leading edge and a radially and chordwise extending portion of a leading edge portion of the blade shank. Leading edge portion may be cut back from airfoil leading edge and a shank leading edge aft or downstream of airfoil leading edge. A nose may extend along a shield leading edge of the metallic leading edge shield with pressure and suction side legs extending aftwardly from nose along airfoil pressure and suction sides. Light weight insert may be located between nose and airfoil leading edges.
