My copy of the book came just a couple of days ago. It's really packed
with information. I can easily see why it took so long to write - it
will probably take me about a year to read it!

I got mine at OSH after his forum. His style of writing is very 'rambling' to put it mildly and the book is unedited. IMO both of which has made the book somewhat frustrating to read.

I submitt a data point for information, as this is not my field. Per my aerodyamicsist:
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Jack Noriss didn't actually do any of the work that he is touting. His good friend Dr. Andy Bower had just finished the work shortly before he died. In a nut shell Bower figured out how to calculate a vortex integral on the fly that would be used to predict prop performance. McCauley and Hartzell and everyone else for that matter is using a method for predicting performance done by Henry Borst in the 1940's for the Army Air Corps. McCauley, Hartzell and Hamelton props have shown better performance against a Norris designed prop. There are more practical methods of design a propeller and if you are interested in propeller design, and there are several books, from conceptual to very rigorous available.
